All the hype;
TV news; avant cuisine
overlooking the issues.
Yet I never heard
cicadas sing
til a grass field
in Tennessee
when fireworks
voiced Independence Day
steady flow
of input & data
permeated the air.
The chant
suddenly sounded
like an alarm
if only for a few hours.
I Can Not Remember 2004
The year of the Cicada. We should name our years like the Chinese. Cool write, too :) slc
The echo of their song still
The echo of their song still resounds in my mind.
