BLACK CAT
BLACK CAT
As they stood holding hands
watching fireworks explode out over the waves
each silently considered the show
as a metaphor for all that life had become.
He: Loud and colorful
and bustling with strange patterns
and beautiful innovation.
She: An unavoidable spectacle charging top speed out of darkness
begging your total attention
and gone just as quickly as you think you’ve got it figured out.
