An explosion from nowhere
Eyes following the blaze as it streaks across the sky
We ooh and aah from a
distance
Yet if we were any
closer
We’d scream
That’s how detached I feel sometimes,
Like I’m watching a firework show
I don't want to touch but I have to watch
Aware of the danger,
Aware that I’m saved by distance
Other times they creep in like the rivers through cracks
I gasp and choke
