in reality,

for every sunset,

the first of september

the first of september
passes almost without
a sound, but
for the roar of
cicadas from
outside my
bedroom window,
handing off each
second, as if it were
the leader of the band

periodically,
the heart gets loosened, rattles
in the middle of

the night, to a mysterious
rhythm, waking everything

triggering our bodies to
begin its slow defense –
only within the
loneliness
of our shells
can we learn to
seal off injury,
adapt, try
for anything
resembling a pearl
