This summer I stayed at my friend's house,
in Crimea;
(he has a small garden with some
fruit trees and vines
and invites me, once in awhile,
to share his solitude);
At night, I’d love to come out and admire
the starry southern sky;
its brilliance and grandeur always
fascinate the eye of a city-dweller.
Seeing the stars, though, this time
produced a strange effect --
I felt small and vulnerable...
Suddenly, in the dark of a garden,
I caught the sight of the two bluish-green
spots, strangely challenging the stars.
Those were the two tiny creatures,
two fireflies, two lovers, hidden in the grass;
They seemed not a bit scared of the stars -
they could emit light themselves!
My heart lightened, I smiled to myself,
and went off to bed, re-assured.
Crimea, 2004.
Lovelight
