Epigram ‘n Aphorism Samwiches

If You Flip, I’ll Light The Way

The switch is faulty, wiring exposed,
laminate peeling, but copper-strong.
Ready to ignite a feeling
if you flip. If you flip, I’ll light
all you dream. I could be everything
I want to be, illuminate our way. But,
you fear electricity, drawn to a wall,
dull. Vibrant paint time peeled away.
The hall is dark, where we two sway.
Maybe, light will find us another way.

I’ll sing for you, if you have no song.
