Chattering.
Rattling.
Buzzing.
Deafening.
The evening symphony lasts for hours
Crescendos build until every musician is performing
They enter and pause in waves
Every few minutes, a solo, until the rest of the orchestra joins in.
The concert last for days.
The mating song of the cicada.
I’ve heard these concerts crashing through peace and quiet. You’ve captured this experience nicely.
I agree with Karen and fabulous final line!! ‘The mating song of the cicada.’ Love the sensory details!
Well crafted.
