I was a witness to this ritual fire:
At the Ritual Fire
Gawaine Caldwater Ross
June go-do go-do go-do june june june!
That’s how the drums beat when she danced
With her ass in the air and her hands in the dirt
Shaking her hips and dripping with sweat,
June go-do go-do go-do june june june!
See snake dancers leap ‘round the roaring
Clapping their hands and stamping their feet,
Tossing their clothes into the night sky,
June go- go-do go-do june june june!
Now the lead drummer pursues his lady
With a mighty fat drum between her knees,
Pounding that beat deep into her bones,
June go-do- go-do go-do june june june!
Into a time warp! Leap through the air!
Hail the bonfire and shout out your love!
There’s no going back to a trivial world,
June go-do go-do go-do june june june!
Join the wild chanting! Raise up your hands,
Feel that snake rising up your spine!
Call out the names of the goddess and god!
Eartha and Ra! Eartha and Ra! Eartha and Ra!
June go-do go-do go-do
June go-do go-do go-do
June go-do go-do go-do
June june june!
