Lampyridae

the fire-flys were out tonight
putting on a display
bio-illuminating thier mid sommer
silent in spectacle
but no less impressive
than any salt peter
charcoal and sulfer device
hundreds of them it seemed
under branches in the woods
out in the open over orchard
a woodland meadow
thick in under story
profuse in fungal duff
bird song for roosting
the score underpinning a ballet
of fire-flys
out tonight
