As this August evening cools,
a breath of a breeze
sifts through the screen
onto my head and shoulders,
brings soothing relief
after a week of humid heat.
I sigh, breathe deeply,
and continue to write:
about the bats
with their skittering flight
as dusk descends,
about the Snowy Tree Crickets
trying to synchronize their sounds
from the string section
high in the canopy of trees,
about the fireflies
flashing their yellow-green lanterns
under the darkening woods.
