radiance

average men are always fluttering
hysterical
when a source of light and radiance appears
they flock
like moths to an encased flame
pressing their cold bodies in close
bathing in a glow they themselves feel
incapable of producing
hoping to become it
or at least to be
illuminated
seen
perhaps even mistaken
for the source itself
simply for being
so close
