I hear a crackle
a pop
a boom
a slap.
Up in the air goes a burst of light and color, one that I see very little.
It's New Year's Eve, and me and my friends stand nearby.
On the black tar street an older boy takes a kitchen match and with a little spark of a flame, I hear it again;
a crackle
a boom
a pop
a slap.
In the coloured light, I see a doe arise, one that is unique. She is graceful, explosive, and dazzling, like the colourful flame in which she came. And like the light, a firework from which she cane, she hangs by, sranding delicately on the gentley falling, small, floating balls of light.
I smile and continue to stare, while to other crowd around a new rocket. With a new firework in the sky, the doe disappears, as blue and green light fills the sky.
She is gone; I am upset. But I close my eyes as a sparkler goes off on our street, the churning metallic sound on the concrete. I listen for the other fireworks around us, and I think, "there could be a war going on and bombs going off, but we'd never know it". A girl I know calls me crazy as a pink and red light explodes over our heads.
Of in the distance, I see a massive, probably illegal firework emerging into the sky, exploding. In it's light, I see the doe -- a new color, but essentially the same. She's majestic, proud, and fiery. She looks very happy in the fireworks.
I retire from the streets and go into my home for the ball drop, and then I return to my friends. More firework, but no doe. Her work is done;
I wish to see her next year.
