burst open
high explosive delight and emotion
a sweet bomb this shell body is
bouncing in the lap of wind and time
spreading it’s fumes into happy motion
creating stars
with the effect of an oversized shotgun shell
like a comet finding it’s orbit in space
bursting in action
giving taste and tender light
to loved ones and enemies
treasure this shrapnel shell and shine
