Nymph

[Brian Roberts]

Empty  we heard
cicadas buzzing 
a start 
like the last time 
snow passed  ah earth
is July burning
in silence

I appreciated, as did Poetry in Motion, "earth is July burning in silence." Is global warming an undertone here perhaps? And what is the narrator's emptiness? Are you referring to the dearth of sound before cicadas buzzed? Overall, an intriguing piece.
