Featured Poem
grand leaf-nosed bat (hipposideros grandis)
to the Beatles tune Yesterday
firefly,
a scintilla of a distant star,
glints of vega blinking near and far,
the heavens caught in a glass jar.
lampyridae,
sequin of starlight on a somber sea,
fleck of glitter in the tapestry,
make a wish and set you free.
i am perched nearby, firefly, i’m on my way.
sometimes fallen stars are turned into fallen prey.
firefly,
manifestation of a bonfire spark,
hints of venus glimmer in the dark,
elegant elusive quark.
i am perched nearby, firefly, i’m on my way.
sometimes fallen stars are turned into fallen prey.
firefly,
an iota of a galaxy,
constellation glist’ning near to me,
make a wish and set you free.
mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, hmm-hmm
