the old women got together
at the request of the young
and they sung;
their voices a bit rough
raised above the ground
while they sat and sung;
like shoots ready to bloom
with much force fed
from their roots;
even the cold air of winter
started to warm up
and dance
to the rhythms of the music
the old women
sung
the young women
recorded their songs with joy
so they could be relived
outside of the village
her kids would one day unwrap
a treasure of song

one day unwrap a treasure of song - a long-term goal, like a time capsule buried for a hundred years
