cicada

the sheriffs

decide to leave

•

•

•

like bronze

and glass

cicada

•

•

•

poked at

it doesn’t budge

cicada

•

•

•

resonating through

the metal pole

cicada

•

•

•

lines of the hazy

ridge line sharp where

the sun hits them

•

•

•

the scrub jay

waits at the end

of the driveway

•

•

•

too hot

to get

the eggs

•

•

•

trash cans

gleam orange

in the dull haze

•

•

•

rings around

the evaporating

pool

•

•

•

edges of

the tennis net

crusted green

•

•
