Stained



I saw someone else yesterday. 
Like a cicada who has waited over a decade to feel the earth against his claws. 
Batting his wings a single time when his shell comes free. 
That was me. 
I saw this angel staring back from storefront glass. 
I saw the silhouette of someone strong. 
Strong headed, strong hearted, antennae, spiracles, and a glassy pair of stained wings. 
That summer sound you hear. 
I'm in the trees when you're quiet. 
Set like amber against the wood in the glimmering sun.
