Cicada Nights

Blame it on the humidity, or something.

Tibicen canicularis (dog-day cicada)

Okay.
I get the point
You’re desperate
to mate

inject
your essence into
some young
green thing

Those
translucent wings
will blow
you away

Still
I can’t sleep
with your tymbals
vibrating

Besides
I’m compelled
to listen
for the train.
