The universe is a child
with small and playful hands
pulling on the strings of fireflies
curious in their glow
Bouncing and reverberating – they spring in every direction
connected with the elasticity of a rubber band
stretched apart, and whipped together
they collide
A burst of light
Combustion, a million tiny stars
dancing in every direction
pulled apart and back again
with no control of their own
The universe is a child
sending spirals in the night
around the world and back again
they spin with electric light
Fireflies as puppets
lighting shaded corners
those ought to be left dark
