after the fireworks
the stars
deeply dimensioned, nearer and farther
great swath of milky way
singing like crickets.
mirroring stars:
phosphorescence
erupting like fireworks
rippling and glowing
defining our fingers and arms.
after the yes
its rewards:
a treasure to witness this
sparkling and splashing bliss
making us wish
our beloveds were there with us
wanting to share how we lit up the water
and how this bright night
lit us up.
