My Footsteps Leave

Glowsticks and sparklers

It’s dark out

My lights compete with the stars

There is something

Charming

About it

My own personal fireball

Set off with the flick of a match

And in such pretty colors too

I’ve never split a glowstick though

I think it would be fun

One of these days

Smear it

Like graffiti

On fences as I wander

A luminous path of the past

Fall asleep with stained hands

Dream about roads lined in vivid neons

And as I walk on

My footsteps leave 

A faded blue glow 

Behind
