Flickering Lamps
Broken grounding,
Shorting currents,
Chaotic pulse of light
On a peaceful still night.
Sudden electric burst,
Ends abruptly,
It’s a pyrrhic victory
That the darkness engulfs.
Sudden jolt of joy,
Depressed by loss of choice,
Start of a jubilation,
Ends with swift termination.
Let there be light,
And there is,
Let there be night,
And it was.
