Private Celebration

...Whirlwind
Of summer embers
Stirs up
From the un-mowed grass

Swept by the brooms of July 4th fireworks

Still, I Burn

...Once,
the world was stitched in crayons;
lemon yellows, ocean blues,
skies that never ended

with arms outstretched,

Sparkler

...It's not like a rush of waves
Like I've read in those books
The innocent idyllic lies
Of fountain wishes and 
Written dreams and 
Patriarchal fantasies
All in illustration

the toilet sparkler,
the bowl pristine
inside and out ready

Whirlwind of summer firefly
Embers

Stirs up
From the long graves of grass
By the sprawling brooms of July 4th fireworks
Booming distant in the furled sky

Up high
