rumbling buh-bom, buh-boom
reverberating tympani...
dreams of Saladin’s
camel kettle-drummers
wily retreat
frantic attack
Jerusalem retaken–
wake to thud and thunder
wooly balls bumble-tumble
buttons rattle
trousers flap, pennons
in searing winds of Palestine–
sound-track by my dryer
down the hall
Hope this is enough *sound* for everyone, as well as an attempt to change the presentation order as suggested. Took a while to come around to that idea, still not sure it's best.
The "vision" turns out to come from a fairly widespread print/painting of those camel drummers (and much else) - dating to the Crusades, some centuries after the period I'd originally envisioned. This should quell the disquiet of those who fear Islamophobia: anti-Crusader is very with-it today among the academic classes.
