spark

rain hit the pavement

July 5, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

rain hit the pavement

flint sparks flew

cars stopped and people frowned

I smiled and blew on my fingers

Machine

The heart is a pump, OK. Arms, legs, OK, they’re levers, I’ve got that. But the spark, the spark that sparks the machine? You know.

Electricity

As we walked side by side, our fingertips brushed and a spark flew. From that moment on our relationship was no longer static.

Spark leads to spark

Spark leads to spark. 

And one day the fire.
