Silhouette

 

You crack and spark

Bonfire heart

November smoke and heat that

Pulls the night apart

A ghost, translucent

Painted echoes

Leaves slowly tilt through black

And red

And gold

I blink but you’re already gone

As fireworks move the sky

A silhouette

Glowing embers

Floating stars

A burning constellation

Briefly aligned

Then drifting  Apart
