Kurt, the Sparkler Man
Kurt, the Sparkler Man
Late on a Fourth of July party
in a decade long ago
a figure of spidery grace
lit a clutch of sparklers in his hand,
tucked some in his shoes
and casually spun cartwheels down the street,
a living pinwheel,
coruscating, sputtering,
brilliant.
When you got to know him
you remained in awe
of a restless talent
that cast off sparks
in music and painting,
forever spinning cartwheels...
