LUMINESCENCE.

pink perigee moon of August
scent of wild rose and honeysuckle

where fireflies dance in the grass
and frogs croak in the swamp

swallows are flying to roost
barn owls are flying to hunt

bluefish and stripers run in the floodtide
churning the surface of the sea

comb jellies bob in the currents
their tiny combs refracting moonlight

underwater rainbows
shimmering in liquid darkness
