Fireflies Over Najaf Forest at Deepest Night

by Katrina Perez

Tiny points of amber light drift above the dark canopy of a forest near Najaf, suspended against a void of deepest night. The trees stand as heavy, silent silhouettes, their branches barely defined by a faint rim of starlight cutting through the shadows. Late autumn leaves rest on the lower limbs, appearing brittle and brown in the dimness. The ground below is a flat expanse of shadow, offering no texture, only clear depth. Each glowing insect moves with a slow, deliberate rhythm, creating a sparse constellation within the earthly dark. One cluster of lights hovers just above the rough bark of a foreground trunk, marking the boundary between the living forest and the infinite sky.
