Works of Fire

Wednesday, February 16, 2005

Gray clouds covered blackened heavens.

Ratchets cracked.


Pop, they released fires through the sky.

Heavens blazed.


Acrid smells reached down to the crowds.

Drums swelled.


Cheers cried over the screams of delight.

Hearts thumped.


Gnarled fingers pointed to cover their ears.

Necks craned.


Trumpet explosions rocked painted hills.

Whistles pierced.


Ancient music built to the sitting ovation.

Legs cramped.


Mammoth sparkles filled the traipsing images.

Breathing stopped.


Brightness flashed through rocks explosions.

Crowds erupted.


Creased flags waved the smallest children.

Dreams sparkled.
