Fireflies

357 62 31
                                    

The husk of my soul is filled with copper fireflies;

Iridescent with a wine-dyed blush. A Fire dust.

 And in the crepuscular light the sun bursts.

Dazzling the half-lit world in webs.

Their bioluminescence hunts for my fated-half;

A lantern guiding you to me.

However it appears that the hotaru are souls of the dearly-departed.

And I’m in this inferno,

Waiting for a dead lover…
