Watermelon Taffy – v2

cooling fading sunset
ribbons of pink, wisps,
swirls, pulled threads of taffy
brushed heavily
edges showing
pulled across the sky
darkening colors, deeper,
blended, morphing
like watermelon taffy
changing to rose, to plum,
fading to dust on the wind
cooling into darkness,
while we sit on the lawn,
listening to the band,
waiting for the fireworks
