it's guy fawkes night. so fireworks are going off like popcorn popping in the microwave
...pop.pop.pop...pop..pop.......poppopPoPPOP
but they whistle first. low and sharp. like a quick intake of breath. a keen and painful one maybe.
i can see them just out my window, if i perch on my chair lean forward a bit.
bursts of colours exploding along the night sky.
they're growing fainter as if the stars are carrying them further and further away. but that isn't so, isn't true. i just like to think maybe it could be.
