Fireflies

In the book: "I'll be there in 1, two, 3"

Fireflies

Fireflies

They charm and seduce
beetles, crickets and one little jumper.
The lively owl
gets ready for the feast
turning its head
almost three hundred degrees.
Its cold, fixed stare
undoes the night
and shortens the time for empathy.
Its appetite sated,
it flies off to the fence post.
For the first time it enjoys the surroundings
lit up
and discovers a captivating pleasure.
