26 july 2003.
after tucking the secret love note written on an envelope and placed on my windshield into my purse, i turn the ignition, begin the drive home. the window is almost all the way down, the air is cool and warm at the same time, and i'm in no rush - i've got all night for this. over the mountains and houseroofs, i see the sky illuminated by fireworks that are more beautiful than any i can remember ever seeing. i pull over and put the car in park. i'm inches from the lane, cars vrrwwshhoosh past and i can feel myself rocking in my seat from the wind pressure. between the radio and passing vehicles i can barely make out the audible booms! of the whole specatacle. the colors are sharp and bold, they make heart shapes and fizzle out symbolically. |
