A Firefly’s Fate
Blink. Blink. Blink.
The promise of love glows all around
subtle spheres of light burn seductively.
Beckoning, calling forth their perfect mate
to fly away together, illuminating all.
Blink. Blink. Blink.
Just anyone won’t do.
I want to bask in the radiance of my lover.
Some glow and some shine
but none of them catch my attention.
“Here firefly! Firefly! Here!”
I speed away from the tyrant
my wings buzzing furiously
until I land, perfectly perched
atop a moist jade stalk.
