Afternoons
are what they are
‘cause
they can’t be otherwise.
The
plane holds the shade
&
the shade holds the song.
I
only saw a cicada once
captured
for minutes in a glass.
There’s
always something immanent
that
yet you miss
in
their song.
I
‘ve never seen cicadas’ choir
but
I picture them
jumping
from branch to branch
as
their music jumps from stave to stave.
