in the long grass
the long night lengthens imperceptibly
the whole autumnal bug chorus
drones on
some diva insect pipes up
cheep cheep cheeping
like he's doing einstein on the beach
give me a break
the whole autumnal bug chorus
drones on
suddenly a dog barks
once
as in warning
then again more querulously
I prick up my ears -- expecting gunshots maybe?
but it's nothing
the whole autumnal bug chorus
drones on
and the night lengthens
imperceptibly
