the night in turmoil
a bumble jumble fumble
of croaks, hoo hoo, purrs, stridulous chirping
then a sudden cringe, ******
shush shush
hush, gurgling creek,
hush, whiffled leaves
clippety-cloppety
clippety-cloppety
clok clok clok
a schwing, zing, zip
and a plunk
and a plonk
in a whoosh
and then a scrunche scrunche
and
clok clok clok
clippety-cloppety
clippety-cloppety
silence burbles
tick tock tick tock
shh, shh,
listen:
a sluggy chugalug
and a fuzz of tiny tunes:
a yelp, a eep
stilness
a purr a buzz
putt putt putt
slowly back in motion
the burbles, whiffs, croaks,
the stridulous bumble jumble
of a crickety night
