Fireworks

between us

the sparks could have been flying
fishes – tail and head premature –

a million fishes dived out into the air

into a pool of pale liquid marble
ground

showing them waves of a quench
able thirst

only a thousand feet of drop,
the frilled fins unneeded

the ballet legs unnecessary

the levitating redundancy

crescendo palpable

drop inevitable
