the wall of insects


from the old farmhouse
I could see
the wall of insects
coming from across the fields
eating up the plains
like a mower plows through a grass field,
not a stalk was left
as they approached
a quarter of a mile away,
then the buzz saw sounds came in clear
the rattling and the racket,
sound effect crews
movie lights
Raider jackets
truck drivers with skull and roses t-shirts
standing around and laughing
