Concerto

A chorus of cicadas
    thrum through the darkness.

Beneath,
    crickets fiddle.

Light flashes at the horizon;
    tympanic thunder growls, menaces.

The ceiling fan, wheeling overhead,
    ticks, ticks, ticks...

The oboe breeze, loose with coolness,
    flows like longing across my skin.

This mid-August concerto
    lulls me to sleep.

Dream-sky
