Surface, through the circuits, breaker breaker. Someone’s calling but there’s no one on the line. Positive, negative, negative, Breaker breaker. These wires are live, these wires are merging with the circuits, Breaker, breaker. Broken fuses spark, lighting, illuminating their blacked out eyes.

Fall is getting closer. Ruled by the moon. Now that we’re hiding in the darkness holding hands, now as we pray, as we are prey. Lead the way. Don’t leave me bound here in desire, lead the way forever is too long to wait.

Lights from flashlights flash on breakers, loose connections connected tight. Symmetry described by the minds intent. Eleven birds of prey take flight. Asymmetrical equations, borne to lack diurnal sight. Brown eyes begging her consent. White old woman of the night:
Right behind the lightening staring past the rain. Running down the red clay. Time succumbs to the rhythm of a slowly fading pulse...
