Summer nights bring fireflies

Near misses in random guise

The universe today is calling 

The long days ebbing and ending 

Water that never quenches thirst

Thirst for others and endless longing 

If we knew of it, would we burst

Burst out crying? 

Shadows prowling outside this here Cave

Errant souls aiming at just one save 

To meet and to behold at any cost

Those we have thence long lost 

Drink, drink of the mighty spring

Do not strive so to hold it in 

Through us at best it shall flow 

Down our roots and far below

Into all that is everything.

(inspired by a clash collision of particles between Sarah of Philly, Nabokov, and Tsai Ming-liang)
