Fireworks

FIREWORKS

The initial joy
Of a firework
Is not in the sparkle shower
But at the exact moment of BURST!

Something in one’s very bones
Recalls creation
Life proclaiming self
A coming out of the gigantic

And won’t unfoldment be beautiful

I love this one, Daver. As for Levine the dog. It was named after Adam Levine. Do you know that guy? famous singer and one of the judges for the Voice!
