Fireflies
Fresh from being cats we walk
The dimming pavement. The air
is hung with softly purring rain.
Lightning falls to earth only midway,
or perhaps it is simply waiting
for us to meet it with
pointy
rods,
our bodies stretching out from eyes raised skyward. Ah, we have become too small evenfor that, like lizards slinking past the gaze and feet of lovelorn people.We like the ground and keep close to it, our hearts beating among the rocks.We fear our shadows casting themselvesAgainst the woodwork flanking us, weaving in and out of the spindly selves of bamboo.But tonight promises we may not be known, and we feel strangely, if temporarily, at peace.
We hug the darkness like a happy thought. But it may not so easily be
had,
this nothingness that warms on a night
that looks like rain. The lesson here
is meridian: halfway into the wooden road
we make our own, a dot of airborne light.
A tunnel's end flinging itself
at
us?
Suddenly no path
stretches
darkly
beyond our pussyfooting steps.
has opened
to us
a misty corridor of stars.
(Or have we stumbled into it by chance?)
I say I no longer will tease my Death
you can't get
me,
sticking out my tongue.
ou
say
nothing, which
doesn't go to show
someone is telling the truth. Oh, why
talk about truth that
blinds
with its dazzling
cloak of sun, or darkness lying through
its blackened teeth! To think of them
is pure folly, my friend,
when fireflies show us love
is so much of both, just before the rains
come to wash our fragile twinkling stars away
- J. Neil C. Garcia.

Parable of Stonesby Gemino H. Abad Every time I go intothe world’s morning, my pocketsare full of stones.You cannot see themwhere my hands are hid,sometimes bruised by their edge.
And a quick and deadly aimI have, and ask no questions.My hands are cold.And few stones left I haveat each day’s end,
and groan as my hands bleed.
My state — who can endure?
As morning breaks, I know again
I have more stones to cast.
You cannot see them
where my hands closeand all my days bleed.Who will close my morning?O, who will empty
my pockets of my stones?
Parable of Stones, published in his book In Ordinary Time in 2004, won the Premio Feronia Citta de Fiano in 2009, which is Italy's most prestigious literary prize.
