no small fireworks here,
young men hunch over black
young men hunch over black
cylinders in the streets,
their silhouettes highlighted
against a flash of light as
they run back to safety
in time to watch a streak
skyward, a resounding
crack echoing from house
to house, waking small children,
setting dogs to barking
and tired parents cursing.
crack echoing from house
to house, waking small children,
setting dogs to barking
and tired parents cursing.
