============================================================

    a
soundless hush

   
unbroken by

   
traffic’s hum

   
hi-tech’s rush

    the
silence

    of
nindo’s night

 

    no
wired lights

   
softening the dark

    points
of light

   
randomly sown

    in the
void

    of
nindo’s night

 

    drums
beating

    bodies
swaying

    people
dancing

   
beneath the moon

    in
full light

   
of nindo’s night
