About the Book Red Dream Cicadas, shut down your machines, a storm is nearing it concerns the cedars in a back garden who sway and moan beseeching the lightning to strike them imploring the rain to cleanse them of all wrongdoing to make every green needled leaf shiny and blameless cicadas, silence your instruments usher in the storm so that all in your realm may be put right: dripping and clean ready for new life, still and luminous fragrant with purpose; let the trees breathe freely soon in the gashed sky, clouds soft as cotton swabs will staunch bright wounds and beckon you to begin again your song of incisions
