Flicker

Brian Looney

Lightning makes
the lights go flicker.
Almost like they shudder softly.
A tiny weakness,
and a gasp.

It is just
a little
shiver.

A mini-twinkle,
strong again,
a steady stream
of kilowatts.

Lightning makes
the light bulbs burp.
Almost like they draw a breath.
A tiny hiccup,
and a start.

Now they
stagger on
once more.

Lightning makes
the vision flake.
Almost like they shed a tear.

A tiny dewdrop
slaps the flame,
but causes nothing
real.
