wow what tone
I love that sound
it reminds me of the hottest days growing up
in the yard
big trees around
I'd always thought it was a chorus
I was listening to
today out here in the desert
I realized that there is a choral effect
in a single entity's song
I'm guessing this is from the nature of the sound wave
that comes off of the rubbing motion creating the chirp
as one wing (or is it limb?)
is dragged across another
the friction of a very precise edge drawn over numerous miniscule bumps
creating a quickly vibrating echo
not unlike the sound of a thickly-rosined violin bow
across a string
yet with the pitch heard only
after long long seemingly singular tones
(almost magically so)
finally give way
with a sudden decrescendo
awakening one to the massive effect
created by a single choice
made in inseparable mutuality
with instincts rooted in Universal Matrix
to sound
-------
and so
I claim a newly refined calling
like the cicada
whose greatest activity
may reside in the song
by which it arrives in the world
it is rooted in simply
resting deeply in
the Center of who I am
