Out in \u00a0the Great Rift Valley<\/p>\n
the unity of soul<\/p>\n
absolute and integrated<\/p>\n
each understand their role<\/p>\n
animal care and fetching water<\/p>\n
ambitions on the whole<\/p>\n
of owning a nice big camel herd<\/p>\n
the ambition and the role<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
taking a salt journey<\/p>\n
to El Sod Crater Lake<\/p>\n
two camels a goat<\/p>\n
and the youngest son<\/p>\n
let the rugged region bake<\/p>\n
the spirits of each moment<\/p>\n
the unconscionable desire<\/p>\n
to reach what is the first part<\/p>\n
of their journey through the fire<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Endless time and infinity<\/p>\n
the permanence out there<\/p>\n
and there it is stretching below<\/p>\n
a womb of time we share<\/p>\n
the deepest blackest water<\/p>\n
wherein lies precious salt<\/p>\n
under the ancient mud of ages<\/p>\n
where we now must halt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and pay the boys to fetch it<\/p>\n
they dive into the black<\/p>\n
Some dig \u00a0with poles to loose the mud<\/p>\n
that the \u00a0many years did pack<\/p>\n
Hardly clothed \u00a0they dive down<\/p>\n
the salt a burning taste<\/p>\n
their eyes their ears their noses<\/p>\n
plugged working with such haste<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
back breaking a continuance of<\/p>\n
hell on earth today<\/p>\n
vaseline pushed up their noses<\/p>\n
and in their ears they play<\/p>\n
some sort of \u00a0wild protection<\/p>\n
the salt seeps into cuts<\/p>\n
a brotherhood of soldiers<\/p>\n
facing up to ruts<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
searing into withered skin<\/p>\n
its slavery for sure<\/p>\n
in and out and fighting to<\/p>\n
pack it in \u00a0bags<\/p>\n
thats what they do<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
load it onto donkeys<\/p>\n
Truthfully poor tired mutts<\/p>\n
aching backs and creaking guts<\/p>\n
50 kilo bags away<\/p>\n
dripping salt \u00a0they just obey<\/p>\n
their masters up the steep incline<\/p>\n
if this is life<\/p>\n
I so value mine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arbore Market<\/p>\n
7 days<\/p>\n
from Gubaluce<\/p>\n
father says<\/p>\n
the trip is long and rugged and we<\/p>\n
will meet our weakness<\/p>\n
consistently<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the immensity the vast terrain<\/p>\n
the outwardness with much to gain<\/p>\n
the desertification all about<\/p>\n
the experience that just picks out<\/p>\n
The pain thresholds<\/p>\n
the hurt the sprain<\/p>\n
each twinge each pinch<\/p>\n
and whats to gain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
a father and son<\/p>\n
and the camels who<\/p>\n
Carry the \u00a0baggage<\/p>\n
and do it too.<\/p>\n
