Land of the Cicada

Land of the Cicada
David J Walker

This was the land of the Cicada
bleating wings filling the
air
a sunset summer nights
concert
sweetened with the scent of
lavender-tinged
lilac blooms
fireflies pretend
they are stars
            falling from the
            night sky

 This was the land of the Cicada
that took flight
                        One night
In my youth
