All The Fireflies Of The Town Poem by Abhijit Das

All the fireflies of the town
Have gathered in front of
The Town Hall.
​
Being mere sources of light
Not worm
Nor life.
Mere sources of light -
The way sometimes
Humans become
Mere genitals.

​I can't look at their light
Are they brighter than the Sun?

I can look straight into
The sun, Day and Night.

​Still, I can't look at
The Fireflies
Like the people who
Look at the genitals
Can never look at
The Eyes.
