The Paradox of the Lightning Bug
The lightning bug, it does
Radiate the light it loves.
Much like other nocturnal bugs,
Around a source of light, they buzz.
But, the paradox of the lightning bug--
The tantalizing light that calls to its lust,
Inside of the bug itself, it encrusts.
Subsequently, from within, the light is ******.
