Burn

​

Every light in the house was on despite the sun.

 

Energy, abrupt and senseless, all of this -- so you.

 

Everything:

 

Right now

Right now

Right now

 

Grumbling about the bill, I extinguished all the bulbs while you stood there.

​

You just stood there.

 

At once, infinite. At once, cut down.

 

If only I'd let it burn.
