Inspired by 'Lights on the Water,'
a fiber art painting by Kerstin Zettmar
The riverwalk is pixilated
with people in waterfire reverie.
Yet in that madcap jostling
along the path to the fireworks,
our eyes meet, for just a moment.
Then, whoosh! We are swept along
in the sway and crush, rushed
to opposites sides of the bridge.
All through the night,
I think I see you, there,
near the vendor with his lemony ice,
no, there with the blue cotton candy man,
wait! there in the mauve of love
splayed insane across the water like petals,
exploding in fireworks of “find him!”
