Crickets and Fire

Jessica Favata
Crickets and Fire
And soft humid nights
A hot spring
In a golden-rock valley
Sedimentary layers
And thin cotton shirts
And thin cotton mouths
And layers of laughter

Some linger;
Some climb,
But all want to stay
Like this
In this valley
Until the layers of laughter and golden rock
Crumble
To small pebbles
And quiet whimpers
