cicadas wakened early
their bright symphonies to sing,
on this the day when Summer claims
the vestiges of Spring

He comes to wed his virgin bride;
their union consumate.
they two, conspiring in the wings
no more procrastinate.

unfurling Summer's fond desires,
adrift the crest of time,
they dance their grand celestial dance
transcendant paradigm.

longest of the longest days,
epiphany divine,
bright presence, brilliant circumstance,
preponderant design.
