Fireworks adore the sky,
Illuminates
The darkest night of the month.

Alas,
This festivity of joy;
Fails to erode:
The saline filth,
Is stuck
So firm
That the mind stays numb:
The cuckoo sings,
And shyulis bloom;
Cannot hear it,
Also cannot see.

Samaritans of the light
fail to impress,
Whereas
The nightbirds chirps
Alights to the brain,
Aiding the lament,
Ailing the perceive;
The body-in-waiting,
For the dawn,
Fatigues.

And before the horizon,
shows crimson lights
The conscience passes,
In slumber deep
And all hopes fail,
Against this
sleep.
