Fireflies in cupped palms
Hold tight,
not too tight
They need air
Light of bugs
absorbed into
open hearts
Sealed in jars,
the glow reflected in our eyes
Come
scamper to my room like the beast
you are,
fall asleep, jar alit beside you
Though
when you wake
The gold will stay,
Unfaltering
wings will not flitter,
he will give light
until it takes him
But will it be worth it
Or should you let go?
