Cicadas no. 2

Cicadas no. 2

Born inside the ancient flow
of skin-tight summer’s 
ancient scripture


ancient says a lot, sometimes too much

what's/is there a differnce/ in and inside?



we sing a drill down song,
our invisible longing for light
lost to the mirror of  the sun.

It's a game you're here playing with light and sun and in and out

We traverse the strewn net

most nets are strewn

of trees signaling the breeze
to souls below us who wander
listening as our music

there are a lot of verbs here,
I have forgotten what 'adverb' means

traverse the trees 


you could leave out souls, below, who, many things you can leave out
and paint a sensual strong picture without concrete details or abstract adjectives


pulls them into the orbit of heat.
