Cicadas I - Archilochus the ivy leaves play in the breeze the apples turn red on the branches and then they fall the mouth is cram packed with words Cicadas together with the sound of a cement mixer and the ants that used to parade on the wall whole armies of them now trace solitary sojourns

on our dinner table you have piled pears in the basket to ripen you are speaking of comrades and the shield you dropped in the game of love speaks of your valorous defeat it signifies that truly through the ivy the sea does signal to you puzzled distant turbulent

Archilochus, vibrant teasing sensuous, ironic poignant summery

a cicada out of sync

Pindar, meter, submission to fate and to the god of posterity, a serious hoarder wintry the ant the mercenary - an actor in the drama and the chorus

唖蝉も鳴く蝉ほどはゐるならむ

TZETZES, Chiliades, 8. 166.63-64 And only under the sun does the cicada sing in cold weather it goes silent and the song is over. All female cicadas are voiceless from birth for the chastisement of women though they remain heedless

all these voiceless cicadas cannot possibly match the ones singing

do enough silent females exist for the singing ones? YAMAGUCHI SEISON

all the silent females will not be enough for so many cicada singers

will this many silent females

be enough, one wonders,

for all these here singers?
