Fireworks

-
I walk these streets alone
Wondering why the fireworks
Are so distant yet so loud
The sound hurts my ears
I feel they bleeding as time passes
Wishing the rain would fall again
How I wished I would not care anymore
It would make it easy
To say goodbye and disappear
Gone forever
Fading into the night
Like sulfur and charcoal
Once bright, exploding in the sky
Now gray dust
Useless
Worthless
Gone into the vastness
Of the sky
The words bleed quietly
Flowing, flowing
And I wished it were my blood
Flowing, flowing
I walk these streets alone
Enjoying  the dazzling magic of fireworks
Wishing I was like them
Wishing it were easy to disappear.

Sulfur of Fireworks - Short Story

I sip my coffee as I wait for my profiteroles to arrive. I have been waiting for them more than I judge necessary, but I don’t feel like complaining or being bitter today. The day is being nice and I don’t want to ruin it. I am in a small coffee shop that I discovered in one of my many walks through the city. I was told the little and hidden places are the best ones, and I agree with that. Except when they take forever to bring your food. The profiteroles finally arrive, the apologetic face of the waiter instantly fading away as soon as he sees my smile. Don’t get used to it, friend. It is not a custom of mine to smile at strangers. Unless they bring me food. I eat slowly, appreciating their flavor and the warmth of the coffee. It is black and bitter, the way I like it. The small coffee place is located in a street with a funny name not so far from downtown. I don’t think many people know this place. The advertisement is not very flashy, you would only find it if you knew
