Firefly

 

A man makes his way through the darkness
By flicking his lighter over and over,
Like he’s following a rasping firefly
Into a blackness punctuated by light.
 
It’s tempting to call this poem
“A Parable of Faith,”
But it’s only a thing I actually saw
One otherwise-ordinary evening
In this extraordinary world.
