Sink Or Float
when the flames
are getting higher
when i'm being
burned
at the stake again
i've leaned to look
up at the sky
and with
the embers rise
above and become
a true firefly that
needs not
know the pain from
illumination but
simply to light
up the night
but much lower than
a star for to go
too far might
mean for me
spontaneous
combustion
