That ******
Cicada.
She won’t let me sleep.
She won’t let me sleep!

Won’t let me sleep –
When I’ve worked my shift,
I’ve paid my rent,
I’ve fluffed my pillow.

Won’t let me sleep –
In between harassment,
In between the bill collectors,
The brawls and the *******.

Won’t let me sleep –
When people fail,
When bombs fall
And children perish elsewhere.

She won’t let me sleep.
She won’t let me sleep!
That ******
Cicada.

She won’t let me sleep.
The world we make.

buzzing, whirring (click)
bug eyes, and a face like a car
from nineteen fourty's!

I swear to goodness
they have a front end
like a car's grille!

Summer somehow
would not be summer
without the buggers!

Going off site for now
see you back later
