Written for November Notes, Words as Weapons by Birdy. I thought of redirection. I am also offering this for dVerse open link.
Lightning Fireflies
Pathetic to consider the energy you expend to injure
how all of those atoms redirected, momentum amassed
could be lightning fireflies portending delight.

I like the idea that those atoms could be “fireflies portending delight” rather than bringing injury.
Thank you, Frank. I liked the idea of going against injury too.
My goodness this is good!
Thank you. 🙂
If only…
Lovely words and thoughts.
Anna :o]
Thank you, Anna.
I would love to see fireflies…
Have you never seen fireflies, Bjorn? Must come to the eastern US in June!
You are on fire, Sascha, you know, metaphorically, 😃 undertaking both these things. I like the thought, and fireflies do bring great delight, glow worms too. I sometimes imagine myself as a glow worm. The other glow worms would say, “Come on Steve, we’re glowing and you’re slobbing around on the couch eating nachos.”
Nachos are never bad, you know, the vegetarian kind. 🙂
Thanks. I immediately thought I was a Bruce Springsteen song and therefore the world was kind.
Know what you mean. Sometimes I’m Dancing in the Dark. When I stub my toe on a piece of furniture I didn’t see.
Huh. Maybe all of the world is a Bruce Springsteen song. I was Born in the USA. 🙂
