raze
i
don't
know
where
the
light
comes
from
,
but
every
night
it
bounces
off
a
bedroom
window
on
the
top
floor
of
the
house
across
the
street
from
mine
,
and
the
way
it
kisses
the
glass
makes
it
look
like
something
else
.
something
that's
alive
.
fireflies
.
first
there
are
two
.
then
i
step
to
the
right
and
there
are
three
more
, bending themselves
into
focus
.
they
never
get
all
the
way
there
.
it's
like
when
you're
crying
and
you
know
what's
in
front
of
you
.
you're
looking
at
a
face
,
or
a
hand
,
but
the
tears
make
it
a
ghost
of
itself
and
take
it
away
from
you
.
i'm
not
crying
.
i'm
watching
five
fireflies
trapped
inside
a
pane
of
glass
.
there's
magic
all
around
you
.
all
you
have
to
do
is
open
your
eyes
.
