remember, remember the 5th of november

A bonfire in Yorkshire on Saturday evening.

From Patrick Wolf's The Bluebell:

Down in the park
In the last of the light
Among the stray dogs and families
I smell the bonfires and watch
The bombs
Fireworks
Burst
Above the trees
Into pillows
Of
White cloud
And
Another year has gone
Goodbye
Now it is the fifth of November
So
I lock the doors
And
Swallow the key
And
Draw the curtains
Closed forever
Forever?
