Song For The Fireflies

After all the lights had died

Out behind the palasades park

Fireflies remembered to do

Exactly what they were supposed to

And memories were like coins that tumbled
Somersaulting through the deep

Down every well we threw them in
Until they came to the top again

And out like the sun

In your hair, in your hair

Every month that ends its spin

Is picked up by the moon for keeping

Clean and safe from accidents

Sheltered from the elements
But June is like an echo
Of the sounds we never made

I swear they find me in my waking hours
Thirty days like poison flowers
The wind in your hair

Like a sigh, like a sigh

With intermittent rain and shine
the sky re-started six or seven times
It's blue because it sees
All our infidelities
We both know that it's been so long
I'm not sure what to say so I hope
Fireflies remember to do exactly what it was they used to
