Salsa in the Park

The firefly children
Flit, garlanded in glowing,
Rainbow necklaces.

The young couples kiss,
Swaying to the hot music,
Under the rum-soaked moon.

My friends, who still brought
Me this year, chat beer-handed
With next-door neighbours.

Wrapped in my fraying,
Tartan, school blanket, I dance
Alone in the wind.
