Shadows of the Wuku

If you stay still long enough, and listen, you will hear the shadows. You can hear the stormbirds call them. They call them “Wuku Wuku”. They keep me safe. The stormbirds and these shadows keep me safe.

The stormbirds watch over me all day, and in the evening they call “Wuku Wuku”. I hear their call and I breathe in the night; I breathe in the shadows of the night.

The shadows stay all night to watch over me. In the morning, the stormbirds greet us both. “Wuku Wuku,” they call to me. “Wuku Wuku,” they tell the shadows. I breathe in the day; I breathe in the wild air.
