just around the corner

things are still hot but definitely easing - I think we've broken the back of this summer thing. the cicadas are less of an all consuming wall of noise and more of background chirp. there's a comforting sea breeze tonight which is rolling in from the port and should help sleep. the last commuter train trundles past in the distance and apart from the occaisional squeak of bicycle brakes and solitary firework, the night is still. the harvest festivals will start soon and rising in the morning will come without a bed wet with sweat. autumn isn't too far away.
