Night sounds

Pony and I sat on the verandah last night and listed all the sounds we could hear: ciccadas; crickets; the voices of greek grannies; wind; the dull clank of southsea shells hanging from creepy voodoo windchimes; the soft sustained gonging of metal pipe windchimes; broad wet catalpah leaves rustling; distant traffic; less distant traffic; visiting children playing nextdoor; footsteps; a car horn; my cellphone beeping with a waiting text message; a dog barking.
