cicada song
                         firefly song
The aria that calls up June
in the mind.  Was the memory
hazy or was it just 
the weather?
                        dry wind song
                        grill sizzle song
The sun tries to kill us
from millions of miles away
only to be stopped by a layer
dozens miles above our heads.
                         bonfire song
                         green growth song
                         lawnmower song
And the hum of x-rays,
gamma rays underlying it all.
