the sun hides behind the dark mountain
a low murmur seeps into my silent soul
the familiar chill of evening covers me
mosquitos hum their high notes
and the languid stars gradually appear
upon the blue-black washed sky
there, the waltz of the moon
continues among the stellar crowd
the organic night comes to life
unseen, in the shadows their talk
turns into song, i meditate to the drone
of late spring, early summer
and by morning light their chorus
fades to become scattered distant croaks
replaced by the ensemble of birds, bugs
