No Moon Nights

In the Congo
should you hear
the beating of the bongo
upon a no moon night

run for cover,
seek protection,
from the dark things
of the night.

Legends speak of
the terror, of loved ones
that were torn apart

when all that remained
upon the morning
was a cold, but still
beating broken heart.

Thank you passing shadows, Roniece and the Lady for the nice responses...
I've never been to the Congo, so don't take this as gospel...James
