Power outage after dinner
Stars obscured in this foliage
Embrace the raven black, its only night
Jungle eclipse fills the cottage
Then two fireflies flew in from between the thatch roof cracks
We two from our bed admire
Their cold light frequencies whirling jubiliant lights
Synchronized phosphorescent couplet mystery
Little flicker souls glittering circles above our head,
But beetle lifespan is like a breath
One glowworm fell like a fainting petal on the cold concrete floor
A luminous snowflake or scintillant beating heart
I watch it immobile, still radiant
Surmise her partner lost its lightening
To the absinthal darkness
