maple dreams ripping ripping tearing seams


sometimes she forgets
that fireflies have lights
inside their belly
little tiny
bright
lights
she shoos them way
walks her tightrope walk
forgetting her maple hopes
sticky
so runny they were
so runny they ran
far to the icy sloped
diamond caves
oh they can wait
it's
quite
alright

they still hum like little bees
she hears them sometimes
when she sleeps
