A clan of crazed Laughter and frolic.*



Women rule the day
Midst all that strange laughter.
lead female enjoys
2 young girls, and
Younger will have
Paramountcy.
Entire packs knows of it.
Gives special observing.
Obeying.
Honoring in
So many little ways.
The Valley
Protects
But also constrains.
Water is the place
Where hierarchy
Gets ignored.
Fun and Refreshment
Take over.
Reconciliations occur.
And the Valley's events.
Quicken.
Sun events.
Rain in buckets.
Swiftly dissipated
Flowerettes.
Wildebeest movement en masse.

*A clan of curious hyenas.
