summer lighting: 
 
 
these lightnings
coming down at odd hours
some in fading night sky’s shimmer 

looks like living crystals
falling through
the morning’s milliseconds 

–as future lovers stealing glimpses
to orientate themselves before
the impact

 as if 
 
anyone  
 
or any 
 
object  
 
or intervention  
 
or plea
 
could  
 
change  
 
their flaming course
