Darkness descends deeply
As the mountains of Jaban Kogo slumber
The shadows of the Jijinya palms
Get lost in the veiling darkness
The glow worms invade the fields
With a frenzied bout of merriment
With lights flickering
As they crowned each sheaf of grass
The crickets congregate ceremoniously
For a concert
Bursting into a cacophony of chirps
Adding tunes to the flickerings
The dogs bark
At the spirits of the night
Suddenly there is an abrupt silence
The spirits seem to yawn
As the gentle breeze caressed my frame
Even the spirits seem to be sleepy
A gunshot scatters the game
The echo says goodnight
