The Firefly And The Moth
1/2 marathon poem #9

In the strange heat of an English summer
Where the firefly hides within a bottle
Safely glowing behind a glass bulb’s wall
In these trying times he’s out of trouble
In the strange heat of an English summer
Where the lazy moth flys with no mask
The firefly safe from his lethargy
And the lazy moth dies with a rasp.
