#15

That light bulb says, “Touch Me”  

You reach out to it

It pulls you, you can’t help it

As your palm gets closer

The light bulb changes colors

Your arm relaxes and your wrist cocks up

Eyelids, mouth close softly

Bright blue now the air seems to be vibrating

You sense the light bulb’s energy

Your palm makes soft contact

And in that very instant

Before anything else happens

You feel like you’re underwater

Holding your breath

Your body in harmony

She comes to you

But she falls back into a bright light

There’s no chance, no chance

You suddenly open your eyes

An the bulb shatters

Your palm turns to pink, scarlet

Laying on the shimmering floor

There’s no chance, no chance

But you saw her

She came to you

It was just one instant

There’s no chance, no chance
