5. Lovely thoughts! The call of the cicada is summertime itself. I am amazed by the sounds emitted by these small creatures and their appearance is equally bewildering.

6. Yes, third is a masterpiece. All of yours are “wow”‘s but sometimes I’m just left in awe.

7. I am intrigued by your equating their song, or buzz, with the afterlife. I had never thought of it in such a way and now will never be able to think otherwise.>KB
