Sparks


Sparks


It starts in the smallest way
With the strike of a match
And a tiny flame
Added to the wick
Ignited
I stand back
At a safe distance
And watch the sparks
Counting down the moments
Until the rocket 
Fires into the dark of night
Exploding
Concussive and beautiful
Lighting the sky
Consuming itself
Until it falls to the ground
As sparks
As embers
To nothing at all
