Fanciful fireworks

arcing green against

an early summer sun,

exploding with raw energy

.

while dazzling with bursts

of neon independence,

rebellion lit by pyrotechnics

of a slow-burning spring’s

.

impetus. Roman candles

ablaze with purpose and

passion, sparklers declaring

a living soul rising;

.

I ooh and aah at your

display, for I know that

this show of bravado

just might ignite – me.
