Surrender
Of all the wild creatures,
Fireflies are the easiest to catch,
No trickery, speed, or agility is necessary
You have only to stretch out your hand,
And they will happily alight upon your fingers,
As if they’ve been waiting
For the perfect perch to rest.

There’s an implication here that could be interpreted a few different ways, that I find deeply disquieting. Fantastic job.
