The ineffable ignites the sky, As words unspoken Crackle and combust Into the raining fire That lights our eyes. Oohs and ahhs gasp As the ashes disappear into the night, The very fabric of heaven We dream of each slumber, That one day when we too will see the light. Two lovers kiss beneath God's gates, Believing that they will ascend into the stars as saints. When the twilight has passed and dark is upon us, We too may take that firecracker to the heart, Life's deepest and cruelest form of art.
