Fireflies passing through the starlit dusk
Their wings shiver from a swollen sun
Icy cold milk, curdles cream upon the sky
Such as though brown, golden leaves
They close your eyes,
While their delicacy shrivels up and dies
Singing in grief for warmth gone again
The fireflies never knew winter's friend
Find the bend
Around the earth's end
And their light will be smothered
Beneath snow unbothered
By the screaming burns
Upon the churns
Of whispering souls
Scattered and old
Finding the rose gold fame again.
Fireflies seeking,
Bobbed, apple lights upon
A darkened horizon
Blackened by sea quietly
And briskly,
And sickly
And fickly,
They're reeking of a storm
Take the world by a swarm
And winter will be forgotten
Slaughtered by the rotten
Core of light's firefly wings
That once knew pain
And cold,
And rain,
And mold,
And the earth will burst
In cyan bubble mania
A star-long curse
You'll find its brutal radiance
Among twirling planets
And the fireflies,
Long forgotten
In the autumn rain.
