Pyrotechnic Stars
Beyond the multitude, memorizing array of colors, bursting tendrils, the rain of
glitter transforming sapphire blue of darkness into flickering daylight, past the
reflections on a skyscraper, renovating the black face of windows into a glass
rainbow, a realized mnemonic, smoke birthing an ethereal scene, haze filling the
city, drifting, weaving within crowds, creeping up the mountain, and
even beyond, the hiss and crackle of sparkles, sizzling ember, fading after
a final twirl, there was my head on your shoulder, and auditory confusion
between thudding fireworks and entwined heartbeats.
