Go Fourth
The fire works
while clutching the cool stem
of rose colored glass
gleaning the glaring
moonlight into amber
crystalized tears
petrified
bead
kaleidoscope shaped pins
spin
colors that streak
high, piercing this purple sky
while the clouds bend low
to gather and take in-
side themselves whole
sound waves
to blind and echo
by distortion
and distance
like thunder,
like lightning,
like electricity,
like this short life
as in
sparks
that leave only traces
of sulfur
in a sense
bonded and bound
by this friction
as if it were
a release.
Painting by Thomas Fearnley (1802-1842), A Terrace in Moonlight' c. 1834 , in Public domain.
