Lightning Bugs (by JAH)

Can you touch a flame
Like that? -ya know-
with the heat holding you above
the ground like a baby
in a crib?
If you reach for that star

that one little star
you can catch it -I Say!-
and then it all goes dark
Open your hand, to see
if it's real.
The light goes on then off
Then on again
Five feet above your body.
