After a night of strange insects in the garden

orchestrating sounds like rhythmic percussion 

At the first rooster's crow

people singing, playing pipes and drums, celebrating -

the Sabbath of Christo, perhaps?

Fog as soft as alpaca rising over round blue-grey mountains

Roaming dogs barking, birds singing, trucks honking,

eager to start the day.
