Cicada
c. 1996
This was my companion book to simple pleasures by Sasha. I. Nyktos. It's a short chapbook filled with light poems, completely opposite of my usual subject matter. It felt odd being in a different skin. I didn't tread there much after that.

in the brook,

very common,
but I smile,
because it's not ice.
