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
Childhood
Underneath the moon
Harvesting fireflies for a
Primitive lantern
And I had a rictameter
Own me
Through seduction
Dress my spine in satin
The color of expensive wine
Light me recurrently like a firefly
Drink of me, of the forbidden
Sweetness between bared thighs
Make me unchaste
Own me
Submission for

Awwww thank you Brian you as well =) Growing up in NC we had fireflies , that is something I miss about summer, something I hope Isadora will get to see
Charming Haiku, all three, but I do like the first best- and satin the color of wine dressing your spine, yummy!, er, I mean tantalizing and provocative, very nice reading, I shall however, through the remainder of the day, exist as a firefly flitting your way!
Awww hehe thank you Scott,
wow! I’m speechless 🙂
Awww thanks Celestine =)
‘Electric nymph’, “counterfeit stars’ and as a ‘primitive lantern’ ~ to describe the little fireflies is ingenious. Smart thinking!!
Thank you Nanka!
I like the electric nymph on an unmade bed of grass best!
