under a fruitless tree, you
…..consider
…..the crackle
overhead
…..transmission
lines strung
with intermittent
…..messages –
short thoughts
…..expiring
with the dying
whine of cicadas
the grass quivers,
stomach all tied up
…..in knots
a naturally-occurring
…..electro-
magnetic field
palms firmly
grounded
…..against the earth
