silent night –
         again, the cicadas miss
       the green corn moon

The thought came to mind that maybe the cicada’s songs are indeed a lament as their life span can be seen so much more quickly than our own. Then again, maybe i think too much about such things. Still, got my attention in a positive way. Good Job.

silence? the cicadas do have a short life so being silent would rub against the grain of them, don’t you think?

Yes silence. They are gone by mid-August.
