but feel free to read it like this:
The grasshopper announces its emergence by loudly rummaging through leaves.

Now
Loudly,
through rummaging through leaves,
announces his emergence,
the grasshopper.
This Way!
It is because one hears the sound first,
and then sees the movement,
and only then does one see the object (which makes the sound, which is surprisingly loud)
That’s why.
Or should that be
Loud rummaging.
A glance at
Fall leaves
as they quake
Giving birth
To a grasshopper.
