katydid
who’s that singing me to sleep
these late summer eves
waxing and waning like the moon
but oh so minuscule
good vibrations commingle
between life and death
cycling for the better every year
give or take a lunar month
hopping from tree to tree
from bush to shrub
petal to rejuvenated petal
tempted by the bluejay
and coaxed by the stream
making friends with frogs and mice
anything honestly faced along the way
june two thousand seventeen
