Fireflies

Adolf Wolff

CHILDREN of the poor—

Little plants

In sandy soil,

Among rocks, weeds, cans, old papers,

And other junk

In the shadow of a wall.

Little plants—

Children of the poor.

From the gallery,

The orchestra—

A swarm of bees

Making honey,

Honey made of

Sound.

Bud

Needing opening—

Let me open you.

Fruit

Needing ripening—

Let me ripen you.
