Fireflies in April
We’re in the backyard talking
about what we want to let go of
about how to move forward
with more light and more grace.
Everything we say comes out
shaped like a word,
it’s all beautiful
and makes a certain kind of sense
like the garden coming up
when we expect it to.
But then, in a blinking thrill,
fireflies!
Tiny chaotic wandering stars.
Yes. Yes. There is nothing else to say.
