solstice night

solstice night a firefly

flickers andante, leisurely 

lending wet luminescence

to the spine of a divine

comedy, calming my fannéd

room where my canon gods

stack. syllables perspire

vivace with no central a/c: live

lively enough to maintain

meaningful patterns even if 

phrases in rivulets run. 

my justification for for

getting to make enough 

to pay to make my wind

ow unit more than my 

blank pages? so i sweat. 

so the firefly will strut 

the shelf so i’m able 

to decipher names of leg

ends i meant to become

 or alphabetical. sometimes 

my mind accelerates past my

self. today i forgot the use 

of movement. solstice 

night a firefly flickers a

tempo it couldn’t maintain.
