Cicada - Maria Morisot

A break from rote;
the capitalization of DANCE
incorporated into song,
and into the fire in our eyes.
Push; pop,
stop to consider.
And entertain; our clownish vowels
spoken and retained in cups of gold.
To make them laugh,
to make them angry,
in pursuit of a new agenda.
Clothe me in carpet,
drape me; I will read.
I cause a chasm to form within my womb,
instruct my self to seal the skin,
With an important message, I bring my love;
and your hardship. Roll the dead over,
and shed your tears. We will persist
in the departure.
And I shake the bars, and bring the irons
down upon my head; and loose the siren.
Everywhere is death, my love.
And the planes come; and their guns,
and the planes come; and their guns.
As I lay in bed dreaming;
I am also here, with you,
driving out the moths from my mind;
and whispering sad silences to you.
With color and security
here with you, with an intensity
and formlessness; outlying indecision
I crave the end sentence,
