Pocket Jubilee

by Joseph Pfeffer

December passes again in quiet
      Fireworks illume the waters

Conversation, liquid conference
      Bays of a skyline tourmaline

As you smile in close and lean
      Shatters in shards of technicolour

Fingers release, to lace again
      A clamorous rain, a starlight plain

The night is soft, is whispers, ears
      Black-run through with brilliant dyes

I pocket your brilliant theatre sky,
      face up to the many days and years.
