Fantasy for the Fourth

In deep dark dusk
a golden trumpet's piercing note
fractures an invisible rainbow,
flings its colors skyward
in myriad shapes of ephemeral light.

The 1812 Overture explodes,
celebrates in joyous noisy cannonades
our beloved country's birth.

Ghost ships on the Potomac
briefly glow and fade.
