The cicadas have taken up home in my body

The cicadas have taken up home in my body

A Poem by Ally Ann
"

I couldn't sleep until I got these words out of my head, and yet my body keeps on buzzing despite writing them down

"
My body keeps buzzing
like the sound of 
one thousand cicadas
reborn with the spring
and I thought they would flee
with the first frost of the season
and yet there is snow falling
from the deep grey sky
and my bones keep rattling inside me 
and the cicadas never die.
