Sounds That I Sleep To

In my bamboo and grass hut in the middle of the rice fields in Goa, India I hear...

Wind rustling
Water buffalo and cows mooing
dogs barking
dogs howling in packs (out of tune)
dogs chasing each other around my hut
dogs wrestling under my bed
dogs hitting their legs and heads under my bum
Hindi chanting through loud speakers
distant trance base
Konkane shouting
rumbling moped motors
crows wings flapping
parrots squawking
Christian church bells

Good night, Moon.
