The pulse of cicadas whizzes faster and faster, reaches a climax, and fades away.
Gators bask for audiences on hazy summer days.
Spanish moss drapes from loblolly dinosaur legs
.
Turtle congregations
Send hosannas across circular arrays.
Radio signals crackle and die.
Darkness descends.
Lost in translation, news bends to the political lens.
Benny & Dolly ride shotgun in my Chevy S10,
On Putin's puppet strings, the president defends.
