A strange tribe
slides from heaps of shade
brown and black hip hop
flat piles of rock;
glide from stiff and scrubby brush.
Sniffing over diamonds
lapping melded gold,
roughened clusters under bent bands
of muscle and glorious hide.
No cheetah, no lion,
only leopards watch
a roll of dice;
the fierce and very shy.
