fly fire fly

I  remember well
the summer smell of luminescense

the sexy high high note scent

of firefly bellies
in humid nights
you could swim through

Received a gift of x
amount of sprays
of Nombre Noir

the light at the end
of the birth tunnel is a
telegraphing of fireflies
not the train's headlight
