I Swallowed a Fire Fly

I Swallowed a Fire Fly Birds of words perched On branches of life Love streamed from mind Like a melody. It's getting dark A soccer game of fertility Hot rain and plough furrow, Seeds in labor pain A fire fly flying around. Volcanic ashes shroud love Desert storm howling over life I sitting on the window sill Enmeshed branches of blood streams. Fire fly buzzes around me Deeply irritated I stretched at An unnatural angle And swallowed the fire fly. Later to come to know The fly was the burning ember My soul rotating while revolving In it's fixed orbit, preordained.
