Night Sweats

black shapes ghost the night
distant sirens curdle dreams
crickets soothe my fear

Oh my...crickets do have a soothing effect until a male wants to breed. Then you just want to kill them. Hehe. I really like this:)) Experienced this before..probably not in the same way..but you painted a good picture

Musthave had a night mare James; crickets can sure sing sweet lullabies though!
