THE NUT TREE

I was still very young when I saw them the first time.
Not far from me there was a huge nut tree and they collected around him.
It was a warm night of June; they danced naked under the moonlight at the furious rhythm of drums played by big black men. Then they made love.
The nut tree explained me that it was a feast for the renewing of life.
