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
