A "Fiesta" is the name of a small Ford car sold in the UK.
For C & C:
Burning The Fiesta
They clamber out, high-fiving it and shout,
one still waving the screwdriver used to open it,
before they’d hotwired it, revved it until it howled
and now they’re dancing, turning to kick it
then set it alight. Their wild eyes calming
as flames fill the inside, the heat forced out
and almost embracing them. Such satisfaction,
the handbrake turns, quick lefts, fast rights,
the risk and trust to end up where they always arrive
beside the other wrecks - yesterdays, last weeks -
and now beneath the black smoke they stand
like prisoners outside the gate, released.
