Mayfly

Mayflies

May fly

Each May

Ephemeral Ephemeroptera

Ghosts of life

of light

Out they fly in lines

Back in

Back out, pushing, cascading

Back in

Back out, like breathing

Inhale

Blink

A year

And next May they may fly

Ephemeral Ephemetoptera

Back in

Back inside

Your heart relaxes

You may still fly

Yet
