Firefly
An electric nymph
Cool and effulgent, on an
Unmade bed of grass
Counterfeit
Hands filled with lightning
Wishes light as paper cast
On counterfeit stars

Underneath the moon
Harvesting fireflies for a
Primitive lantern

Light me recurrently like a firefly
Drink of me, of the forbidden
Sweetness between bared thighs
Make me unchaste
Own me
Submission for
