Day 50 prompt: nightlife
I remember
summer nights
on the farm
lying on a blanket
in the yard after dark
trying to count the stars
and losing track
somewhere
in the hundreds
I remember
July evenings
not quite quiet
while purring cats
tweeting crickets
and whispering cornfields
entertained
the silent stars
I remember
cool breezes
and rumbling thunder
raising the volume
as lightning brought a flicker
to the night’s lights
flashing signals
of goodnight
