Jar of Fireflies
by Charles Simic
In the first dark,
Someone is there
Under the trees.
The hands flare
And the face.
But not long enough
To see who it is.
That is why I listen
For approaching steps
And hear only
The wind worrying
The dark leaves.

each scar is a mouth,
swollen with tooth-sharp words.
some secrets bite, and bite deep.

shocking as earthworms
that curl, wounded, under bare feet.
