seven

seven nuts; seven villages
seven moons across;
seven forests and seven rivers
seven turns, in the seventh night
…threshold of several ant holes; homestead
of seven headed spirits

seven heads in the ants palace;
made several pleas-
seven kola nuts at a meeting point
seven woven kente, stretched on the shrine
several wooden totems
…each for the ancestors
