Discovery
almost dark
we're in the yard
and there they are
flashing
fireflies
very small
blinking in the high wet grasses
I call the dog
and point one out
there's one there's one there's one
light no light light
and then he gets it
oh yes
many now
to follow and to pounce on
he doesn't quite remember
only a baby himself last summer
now he's dodging under darker bushes
chasing them out into the open
grinning
nosing them in the air
to play
