meteoric incantations

the green projectiles passing by my lawn,

firefly into blackness,

make me wonder if wishes come true.

the 5 my courageous eye first could decipher

streaked, giggled, then dissolved into second guesses.

I’m sure she isn’t watching them

she is sure I am a lunatic

standing staring up at the soup spoon

hoping that God blinks at me

a few hundred times

before the hour ends.

my life is a fleeting light in the distance

these fleeting lights remind of this.

content to dream

of all the wishes I have gathered.

the strongest one burns brightly

that maybe, just maybe

she is wherever she is

looking up at the sky like me…
