Winter Fireflies

Winter Fireflies

I've always wondered where they go when its cold

Do they snowbird and migrate to the south?

Do they hibernate

                  hugging a hedgehog ?

Well I found them tonight

                    living it up in my logs

tucked in the embers

talking in pops and snaps

perhaps with a

                        schnapps

flying up the chimney with a whistle

Dancing a fandango

 phoenix in miniature

in their tiny wooden town

Occasionally a group of them fall out of the bar

dead drunk

                 onto the hearth

spark out
