Are You Just a Firework?
are you just a firework –
shooting up, into my sky
lighting it up
and acting as a star
even though,
i know,
if i looked,
there would be other stars
and perhaps others –
who would take me far
and in fact, further –
beyond this first, immediate hit
James Garratt – February 2011
