Rattlesnakes crawl under mesquites, leaflets wiggle in the wind, wild turkeys call in the distance, bringing me back again and again.
The baa of sheep and the bovine bellows, as evening falls, crickets chime in, low fire crackles, for the sound more than heat, hoping that the weekend won't end.
Bobwhites call in fading light, nighthawks and whippoorwills also speak, eighteen wheels whine in the distance, reality into my world just leaked.
Coyotes call as jackrabbits run, the final darkness has blanketed light, the stars all shine, not a cloud blows by, on the central Texas springtime night.
