Cicada Song 1
Air’s juicy with their thrumming hum
protein-drunk cardinals sing
low clouds weep
redtails ring sky
protein-drunk cardinals sing
silver rain needles slate
redtails ring sky
how I try, try to let go
silver rain needles slate
then and now chime, entwined
how I try, try to let go
old worries wind, tight trumpet vines
then and now chime, entwined
air’s juicy with their thrumming hum
old worries wind, tight trumpet vines
low clouds weep

Love the sounds, Elaine. And repetition mimics the rounds of cicada song.
Thanks, Cathy. I’ve been enjoying the immersion in their sounds (though I am also about ready for them to depart for 17 years). 🙂
The pantoum works very well with these senses and emotional laden images:
air’s juicy with their thrumming hum

Thank you, Pam, for reading and commenting.
