though the wind whistles
warnings through the large round
symmetric hole
in the matriarch's flapping earlobe
its tune the triumphal march
from Aida,
the part where women dance
with tambourines
the crescendo part where all
hail the parade
of real-live horses
and elephants decked out
with conquerors.
