Firecracker Lanterns

Firecracker Lanterns

A hundred little crimson lanterns
hang from threads of rain-bright red,
each bud a held breath, each stem a fuse
lit slow, for the quiet kind of fire.

One cream star has opened in the middle,
its long stamens arcing like sparks
that never fall, that only wait,
glowing, for the dark to see them.
