Lights Out

It is that hour when all the known world settles into the
rhythm of the crickets and the tree frogs.
Pulsing.
Spinning songs in high endeavor;
vibrating like the buzz of the far off city.
That is all that is left in this night,
the hum of insects.
And it is all that I want.
It fills the air
and me
abundantly.
