Independence, fireworks and dissent (July 4, 2005)
the first notes
squeezed from bagpipes
small town parade
from To Hear the Rain
Independence Day
after all the fireworks, the stars
still there
long after
the fireworks
a shooting star
from Almost Unseen
fireworks
I close my eyes
for a second look
night train
the fireworks
you missed
boom! boom! ka-boom!
so many duds…
fireworks
translated by D.G. Lanoue
Fourth of July–
grandma’s throw
half way to the toddler
you squeeze my hand . . .
how still the sky
after fireworks
