Drums Beating

I’m feeling a vibe.
It’s a resounding thumping,
Echoing inside my chest.
It’s the sound of a thousand beating Garifuna drums.
It’s the stomping of dancing feet around a fire.
It’s a song in Garinagu,
Sung by brightly clothed women and men.
It’s life beating against the walls of my rib cage,
Yearning to be free.
