for a moment

during laneway in january, it was late in the night, towards the end of the event and someone was blowing bubbles from the back of the crowd.

god knows how many bubbles they blew, but a small number found themselves carried by the wind to the stage. under the stage lights, they were a pretty sight, but their moment of glory came not then, but when they finally burst.

if it was at the right moment when it was caught by the stage lights, if it burst at that instant, the little pop turned the bubble into a billion tiny droplets that formed a beautiful, shimmering mist.
