Silver Waterfalls and Stars
July 5, 2009
Fireworks like waterfalls
Exploding stars
Fireworks at Gasworks Park by Lake Union
Dandelion fluff
Fireworks
by Valerie Worth
First
A far thud,
Then the rocket
Climbs the air,
A dull red flare,
To hang, a moment,
Invisible, before
Its shut black shell cracks
And claps against the ears,
Breaks and billows into bloom,
Spilling down clear green sparks, gold spears,
Silent, sliding silver waterfalls and stars.
