Above the H Block enclosure, with the roof missing, the day turns into evening sky.
Birds that I do not know the name of, in a frequency range I can not hear, are shouting to each other. From branch to branch. From wing to wing.
Dusk bugs, trying to avoid both the before and after, swim between the chairs, an air breathing fish built like a tank, a cousin perhaps to kin who hear with their legs. Soon, they will be trapped in the gaze of ten million moons.
The percussion of the bats’ echolocation drumrolls the air in search of food, a sound source faster than blinking, swifter than thinking.
Deathless is in front of us.  Dreaming up electronic drone for Yogyakarta, music for the heat, soothing like the shade.
All around us, the green and the brown, of leaf, and bark, and earth. Washed over with waterless waves flow through wet air.

The sole inhabitant of the vertical world, the Lizard, only hears itself.

Yogya falls silent.
