The sweet smell of festival food
And the cheer of the crowd
Celebrates the summer night.
Dim lights
Like fireflies
And lanterns
Floating in the sky.
The world darkens in anticipation.
The crowd is tense.
A second passes
Then two.
Then

A shower of light
A spark of color
Fireworks explode in the sky.
The light is blinding.
