On a #hike the other afternoon, I spotted a cicada’s molt clinging to a blade of tall grass. Across the field, its owner buzzed out of sight, and for a moment, I couldn’t help but feel left behind. This #poem is a little meditation from that moment.

A textured beige background with a sketch of a cicada emerging from its shell on a branch, drawn in soft pencil lines. To the left, a poem titled Cicada Skins by T.F. Malek is displayed in elegant serif font. The poem reflects on the quiet melancholy of seeing an empty cicada husk in the grass, touched by sunlight, while its living counterpart sings in the distance—leaving the speaker feeling abandoned. The poet’s Instagram handle, @torreyfmalek, is subtly included at the bottom.
