Crickets and cars racing the night's silence for each their own goal.
I've drawn a half circle, a sort of protection in the driveway outside my room. Mosquito repellent has more than one purpose. The night seems to throb and roll, warm and still outside the barrier I have risen.
Around the yard a few incense sticks burn, filling the air with a surreal perfume of nature and artifice.
The radio is playing Billy Joel's "Don't Ask Me Why"

Well, you know I'm going to have to ask you "why." ;-) Why the protection other than from mosquitos? Actually, I like to burn some cedar incense around the porch when I'm sitting out in the swing at night.
