dianna dragonetti poem cicada in a box
"Today" from WISH Jog "The Heroine Dies"
I almost stepped on a cicada today.
Its wings were orange
and somehow dented
like flakes of paint
once peeled back by old pressure
on a  car riddled with
bullet holes.
It was near death,
it barely stirred.
I thought of my grandfather.
