.
The sun sets
on a sandy horizon
losing glow in a
reverse crescendo
of light.
.
Fireflies fliker
and children are
astonished by stars
twinkling on and off
in vacant fields.
.
One cricket, five.
The chorus calls
across the darkness
in a slow crescendo
that rises and fills
the atmosphere in an
outside-the-window
lullabye.
