Crickets
Crickets rub their legs together
at night, chirping. To past
time, we two stridulate.
It's just a myth, but we sing
anyways, every night.
A calling song, loud ***
appealing, before a quiet
chirp ends the courting.
Chirp, chirp, chirp,
who the **** is he?
Chirp, chirp, chirp,
make up, or make it up,
let's ****.
A large vein runs down
the wing, serrate teeth
smiling, gnashing out
dry chirps.
Night songs of entangled legs,
or crossed wings? It doesn't
matter, and we hardly notice
the passing night.
The tumultuous song
of a billion chirps doesn't keep
us up alone in bed at nights
anymore.
