Eufemia Griffo's avatarIl fiume scorre ancora

mam

old djembé
a drum beats
together with my heart

*djembé -drum by percussion

~
lunar eclipse
the farewell
of an old Masai warrior

~

Harmattan fury –
ants cling to
an ancient *Marula

The Marula Tree (Sclerocarya birrea) is one of the great African native plants. Belonging to the family of the Anacardiacee as the mango, the pistachio and the cashew, has always been part of the life of the inhabitants of the southern area of the black continent.
