A spark
brightly singing firelight daze
Cries out
Plea against patchwork darkness
to rise, leap upward, outstretched
hands grasp the note
to fade

but up there
are stars

We played
on a night field with lanterns
buzzing like fireflies
Mirroring the moon
Two befuddled moths
who did not know
you could not reach the stars
Can I catch your tail
sprinkle stardust words over the world?

or will you leave me behind
again?

Rainbow water
dazzling in the sunlight
which steals it
drop
by drop
yet when it rains
there grows a flower
