Too Restless to Sleep

[Keith]

Outside the hum and buzz
close crowded clicking
of katydids Really like the sound being generated in this opening. For me though it needs another line adding at the start, just to grab me more than Hum and Buzz does
 
Under the dry
light of the forest
flowers are motionless
unmoving I like the contrast here that in this light the flowers don't move the N
like stationary pinwheels
 
The wild trees
bare of leaves
seem like insomniacs really like this jaded view of jagged branches all a bit frayed.
 
It is near dawn
I stand in the dirt
shifting from foot to foot like how this motion opposes the flowers
knowing the end
will be nothing like this Nice, I have several theories and they are all good ones

I take away a solid image of the culprit and the surroundings I also like the way the camera pans from the field to forest looking down then up then down again to our sleepless stranger. Kept me guessing with a different take each read. Very much enjoyed. Keith
