Cicada, curious legs uncertain,
shed skin shook loose like decade-
long slumber come to end.

  • A former member wrote: I love the simplicity of it and yet. I could imagine myself seeing a cicada on a gas station wall like yourself and by observing the beauty of such a simple yet amazing complex creature, becomeing inspired to write about the experience. Thank you for sharing.
