Feeling bold, I walked into the garden
- where i saw the fireflies, the light posts, the moon shining down
- the moon gave a direction, the lights upped the way, fireflies spiraled through me in the wind
- seeing a bridge illuminated, two koi directly under it had been circling each other in a dance
- i walked across, and through my footsteps, did the rain droplets in that pond ripple time
- the fireflies fell first, the light posts shorted out, the moon left orbit

Fading. The koi were disappearing, my footsteps slowed to a halt before the coming darkness. And before I forgot what they looked like - they all merged and flashed.
Bursting white, hot, light,
+ bleeding gold, the sun broke the sky
