 this evening -
t'is wetter than
any autumn night of yore
on a fragrant South China harbour.

these nomads -
they wear high heels, ride on clotheshorses,
sip effervescent bubbles, nibble on dainty sweets.
 
they haughtily flip perfectly coiffed heads 
in delicious symphony with the atonal beat 
of a million popping flashbulbs.

these lights - 
they rip the velvet sky ablaze
with spectacular ribbons of firework:

heathen's sabres rupturing a village's calm
to create a heaving, contemporary outpost 
echoing an ancient Silk Road...
