Charge
A lightning flash –
one-thousand-and-one
Its photons dash
one-thousand-and-two
Into my eyes
one-thousand-and-three
Through rain-soaked skies.
one-thousand-and-four
I wonder how far
one-thousand-and-five
Those flashes are ?
one-thousand-and-six
Been brewing all week,
one-thousand-and-seven
This cleansing streak.
one-thousand-and-eight
Hang on, have I missed it ?
one-thousand-and-nine
Or is it too distant ?
one-thousand-and-ten
I feel a bit cheated,
. one-thousand-eleven
The clap uncompleted –
one-thousand-and-twelve
You can’t give us flashes
one-thousand-and-thirteen
Without giving crashes…
one-thousand-and-f……finally !
