Art/Poetry Mash-Up: Fireworks

A poem and painting for Independence Day.

.

Fireworks

The
Plunge into darkness

—

Of fireworks . . .

—

Is More . . . .

—

Than color and flame

—

Is the same

—

As

—

Adventure

—

In boredom.

—

To

—

Break Up . . . . . the

—

Staid

—

Similarity

—

Of
Sameness.

—

The
Endlessness —

—

Of
Endings.

—

Burst high –

—

Burst far

—

Light
My
Night

—

With
What
You
Are – .
