Fireflies and Fame

stuff them in a Coke bottle
capped with a wad of cotton
from my asthma medicine.

peeled off their wings,
then lined up their weightless bodies
into an elegant cursive script
spelling my name.
I stomped them all
like an Indian on a warpath
and for fifteen seconds of fame
my name lit up in Vegas neon
just like Liberace's. — Beryl Dov
