Today’s word – ‘Band’
Some alchemy had transformed base
metal into echoes of crystal raindrops and thousands of glittering bodies swayed
to the exotic rhythm of a steel band, allowing the throbbing rumble to permeate
their bones. The lime tang of the music quenched thirsty souls and sent them
soaring, flying towards paradise on the pulsating Calypso beat. Light ricocheted
from the city windows, sending its discharge out in a sequined rainbow, sewn
over a hundred tired evenings by loving mothers, who now, with ample hips
swaying, reflected the dance in their proud smiles.
