re- above- titled -Late night lightning
Ok, yes - I promise to put my own spin on this one in due time.
haunted by nodeshells, like pronouns signifying other worlds
No, I don't know when that might be.
Staying out of the sun
because the rays burn her
to a crisp
she's cool and collected
shaded in the videostore
leaning against a counter,
freckled arms spread in front of her
She's checking out customers
checking out movies & each other.
Once in a while she looks up
at the big corner mirror
and the next time she does
she'll see me
looking up
maybe I'll wave.
