missing the hot buzz of cicadas singing

I came I saw I stayed

eye settled in uncomfortably 

stubborn in my decisions

playing the long game 

thwarted attempts at living


subject verb: I want

amicable agreement doing 

wash rinse repeat 

words mean little here

where my name lies

and Murphy-blood blooms
