Summer Stars

wave of living sparks
the brilliant kind
light a way
tangling the little love-lights
fireflies
twilight is coming
and for this occasion
rival the very stars.
tiny miracles
luminescence without incandescence.
stars in their courses
think only of illumination
firefly light
the visible part
the spectrum
illuminational
luminous firefly.
cooler than the air
of the summer night
fingers capture their yellow beams
between flashes of the air
flash little beacons
And reveal all
