Around the light
On the back porch
They gather
Each summer night
To flutter their wings

Were it not for the glass
The glow they seek
So hard to become a part of
Would set them on fire

As will
Or may well happen
Tomorrow or the day after
Or the day after that

It is a madness
To any witness
Who watches detached
Such wild displays

Even to the young man
Just returning home
So late from seeing his girl

And yet
What is life including his
Brief as it already is

Without that ever
However irrational urge
To consummate desire

Human, with a larger brain, at all, the sillier


enjoyed the chewing.

May you have a wonderful day!!! Sir Pawlik
