I am the summer sparkler,
Clutched between the
Sticky fingers of a child.
I burn bright and fast,
My shivers lingering
Behind closed eyelids.
I shutter with light,
Brought to life with a match,
Dripping with flare.
I am kindled and caressed
By the night air and
The eyes of all.
I am a short lived passion,
Marveled and held tightly
Until I sizzle into darkness.
