Firefly Vigil
A nonet

At our best, we made such sweet music
But crickets sing your verses now
To the dark of our night porch
I won’t leave my light on
No one’s welcome now
It’s far too black
No love found
Out there
Here

The finality is matched by the depth of darkness where no light yet flickers. Beautifully captured heartbreak.
