Night heat of the Locust Moon

Under the stifling

Love meets

Soon

Thundering life

Under the buzzing

Biting sky

Flag furl drooped

Solid

Set air to deny

All that moves

In the sweat on the lip

To hot to drip

A sheen dipped

Red on the eye

Lizard lain still

In the cloy of the room

Velvet on skin

Tonight the Night of the Locust Moon

Begins.
