“The first time I heard you laugh,
I only wanted to say funny things
so you would always be laughing.
You know what happens to chocolate
when you leave it out in the sun?
I’m that unfortunate chocolate
and you, you are the laughing sun.

who actively pursues the light
without much fear for the flame.
The moth who revels in the heat
and declares:
Burn me.”
