Eiffel Tower Sunset

Tiny pink crescent clings to the horizon.
Fireflies dart and weave amidst iron
lattice, ring around the rosy skies, like embers
twirling through the scorched
remains of buildings burned to the ground.

Darkness creeps across the city as the sun
loses its grip and slips out of sight.
Tourist's eyes flash and glow, reflecting the fireflies'
playfully dancing lights. Stars fill the inky sky,
longing to frolic like the luminous beacons below.
