Lightning Bugs
The surrounding area in Weinfeld West Virginia was so vast,
I felt like a small glowing dot myself.
Slowly
I crept up behind the glowing dot in the sky
Slowly
I grasped it just barely, cradling it in my tiny hands
Slowly
I dispersed the fragile bug into the jar
And Then…
Quickly
I screwed on the lid,
my hands wrenching in weird ways
so my precious bug couldn't escape
Quickly
I leveled my eyes with the center of the jar,
watching the illuminating glow of the bug light up in the jar.
Like a little party had exploded inside it.
Quickly
our jar started to fill up and up
until the interior of the jar couldnt be seen
The surrounding area in Winfield West Virginia was so vast,
I felt like I had turned into a glowing dot in the sky myself.
