'Cicada...cicada! <br />that wonderful sound <br />(wonderful sound) <br />cicada...cicada! ' <br /> <br />I sing to trees & bushes <br />& suddenly there's a hush <br /> <br />as the insects realise <br />'Hey...he's singing about us! ' <br /> <br />And the bushes <br />and the trees <br /> <br />go wild <br /> <br />the cicadas riff like crazy <br /> <br />in my jazz symphony <br />for humans & insects. <br /> <br />'Hey! Respect man! ' <br />the insects chant <br /> <br />weaving a mesh <br />of time & sound <br /> <br />here on the top <br />of Capri <br /> <br />me & the old Roman ruins <br />smiling <br /> <br />half blind <br />in the sun.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cicada-cicada/
