fireworks with silence

Day zero was day zero
The gods decided to silently pout all day
The day languished in their expression
A sunset blurted out washing sobering clouds with floods of orange
But the imposing gesture was terminal
For Horizon was caught hiding the fighting splendor
And then, for most amazing, I saw the double green flash of seafarers’ lore!
And that did lure me not to extinguish my chasing gaze
And my searing eyes were pleased again when saw
An equaled purple flash dance above the green
Midnight came and the city lit up like air war over Baghdad
The gods dealt with the fireworks with silence
The morning came and the clouds had been disinfected from the sky
The poet washed upon her shores
