Fireflies by Moyan Brenn
Lightning cracked
the evening sky as the
light rain began to fall,
but I cared not for the
foreboding rustling
through the leaves or
the silence offered by
the waiting thunder, for
nestled in these boy’s
hands lay a jar of fireflies,
and a childhood lit in wonder.
_Bison Jack
a jar for these
the wonder of fireflies
through the silence
a childhood lit in lightning
waiting-by for the cracked evening sky
or rustling thunder
in the leaves
the boy’s light hands lay offered
nestled and
foreboding
but I cared not
as the rain began to fall
