THEN UNHEARD SOUNDS ARE SPEWED, SEEKING ECHOES TO DIRECT THEIR NIGHT’S SEARCH FOR SUSTENANCE.   THE MASS  DISPERSES INTO SEPARATE  SPHERES EACH SENDING SONAR SIGNALS WHICH LAND UPON RECEPTACLES THAT ARE READILY DEVOURED. NATURE’S SEEDS ARE SPREAD DURING NOCTURNAL TRIPS AS SPECKS OF POLLEN SPRINKLE ONTO FLORA FIELDS.   THE COLONY SEEMS TO COLLECT ITSELF EN MASSE WHEN THE SKY BEGINS TO GLISTEN WITH SLIVERS OF LIGHT, THEN THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT IS SHATTERED AGAIN BY FRENZIED FUR, BEATING TO THE RHYTHM OF RETURN HURLING INTO THEIR CAVERN OF CUSHIONED VELVET.	"Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." Hannah Arendt
