Fireflies April 30, 2015

  

I wait for the fireflies I know won’t be here for another month, and feel their need, to glow in the dusk in the hope of getting lucky, as erect as I can get when I think of what it might be like to return to her garden again and romp through her weeds, stirring myself up as a glow and know if she notices me I might get lucky again, this ever present need, this ache in the weds, a glow in the dark I hope will be enough to draw her to me, to have her let me do again what I have done fore for, that which makes me glow inside, and out, not just on these warm spring days but with the though it might be enough to keep me warm through the dead of winter when I have nothing else to hope for
