Cicadas

Cicada Season

On the hot afternoons
the locus whirring
is so loud and unending
all across the valley
I think I will go mad.
I begin to rage
toward them with resentment,
but then I remember
all the extravagant, unnecessary,
sanity-unraveling spectacles
I have enacted in my own
search for love.

I read this poem to friends and clients and strangers off the street.
