Ciao, Paloma

She stood and walked across the lawn

past the cottage and into the big house.

He stayed to watch the last of the sunset,

waiting for the flash of green.

When it was finally dark and there was

no moon and the fireflies appeared,

he got up and began walking toward the house.

He loved the Italian word for firefly,

lúcciola. She was like that, flickering

on and off from moment to moment.

As he approached the house, he could hear

her singing: Vógliatemi bene, un bene

piccolino. It’s so strange, he thought,

life’s so fast and time’s too slow.

He stopped and watched the fireflies.
