SUMMER LIGHTNING, prose poem in 50 words
Hit by lightning! The shock of ultra-neon electric illuminates her body.
It’s not the first time she’s been struck, though it always takes her by surprise,
this sudden flash of incandescence.
She’s lonely, and looking for a little combustion.
He says his name’s Flint.
“Bring it on, cowboy,” she whispers.
