silent, hollow cicada shells remain
ornaments to gothic arches
of bending lime daylily leaves
they have emptied out
their screaming voices
in August heat exhaustion
and inevitably transformed
into water urns catching
the drops of passing storms
they remain at summer's end
when spiders rush to spin
passes them the dance of fall
as ash leaves waltz with bees
in the stirring winter breeze
