cicadas song
The crystal candy coordinator
shaves the ice off the block
so that you may savor
whichever flavor
your heart desires,
in coordinating the efforts of salvation
the restriction yields the narrow gaps
through which your body must pass
in order to escape,
and yet,
the walls close in
and you are left in a chamber
of utter darkness
at which point
your body begins to vibrate and hum,
and just as
from the buzzing
shrill of cicadas song
eventually finds the seams
and cracks it’s own carapace
so to shall the internal
light producing energy
given to you at birth,
find a way to penetrate
the darkness with which you struggle.
