Watching the dazzling air ...

The rockets hissed past the pines - 

I remembered another bonfire - 

The yellow flower of the flames - 

White feathers of breath from my mouth - 

The cold eye of the moon - 

My eyes open to the hidden world - 

Finding the key amongst the grass - 

Placing it on my tongue - 

My heart racing - 

Watching the dazzling air -
