Poetry

Zapped

Elizabeth Lewis

Your blue light flickers,
I am mesmerised.
Your electricity pulses,
I have to come closer.
I butt against you,

my wings fall off,
I land with a click,
hard,
and bounce
a couple of times.

I feel nothing
but a faint buzz
where you lit my skin and
saw inside me
like an x-ray.
