imagine

a trick of light and perspective
made the puddle look like

it was teeming with fishes
as they turned as one
flashing their silver sides

the rain drops seemed to make the puddle sparkle

like an unending firework
whose sparks never stopped falling
a stream of monochrome glitter

imagine that.
plummetting into a pool only so deep
drawn in by a coincidence of raindrops and light

caught
held
by such simple beauty

only to have it
gone, with the sun.
