did you know I
used to
roll my eyes
when people laid
claim to
butterflies
in their stomach.
because I
didn’t, and doubted I
ever would
experience it.
but if the
feeling they were describing
is this one
then I don’t
think they were
doing it justice. because
right now
I feel as though
there are
one thousand
fireflies
lighting me up
from the inside,
as if it were the
fourth of july
(in the middle of
autumn) in there
as if
one million
glitter particles
are exploding
every nanosecond
as if I have
captured the moment
when the first baby
laughed
for the first time,
in a bottle
and swallowed it.
butterflies?
I call their bluff.
