4:56

4:56. Echo chambers of the night! Phantom mosquitos incite my Lunar Itch Fest. Roosters clamor for the dawn! Drowsy in my warm-lighted bug-conference-of-a-bedroom The fan hums lowly it's, "Lake Breeze!" And behind the Lake Breeze is a castle in Germany And behind the castle a wall And behind the wall darkness. The darkness of a storage space Filled with storage. Filled with my head-space. 5:01. Birds rustle... 5:08. Head now soft as Birdsrustle in the risingnight! Let go my head-let go...

The "Lunar Itch Fest" is upon us, Matt, especially just before dawn. Love the way your mind travels to Germany only to place your "head-space" in storage behind the castle. With so much to ponder in the wee hours, it's not surprising you want your head to let go so you can sleep. Great images, too! Love, Carolyn
