Cacophony of Quiet

August 6, 2010
Just sitting in the backyard.

                    The sun rounds
the bounds of the trees.

crickets
crickets
crickets
crickets
crickets

whistle
          click
                    trill
twitter
          click
                    trill
chirrup
          click click
                    trill
          trill
trill

hidden frog
                    raspy zipper solo
amplified
                    raspy zipper solo
echoed
                    raspy zipper duet
in the next yard

squirrels
          lustily playing leaping
                              in the pine
piquing
          cross branches          cross branches
                              that crackle crackle complaints

                                                  as they pass

cicadas plug in
warming up with the sun
          the arrival of
          galvanic vibrations
          evolves
          lively revivals
          of vibrant vivace
          vocalizing volumes
          of verve
