crickets were a big part of my summer


Out-lines


The trees of Pennsylvania are
turning
dark by night- and
filling with the summer air
of cricket song taking
up all the room
in the musty sky.

All that is left are
the spaces in between-
the fringe of the pined
needles squiggling velvet
lines into triangle shapes
for me to peer through.

The crickets raise
their roar,
and the triangles fill in.
