The night the power went out
We watch the lightning come down from the cloud
Listen to thunder roll by
like waves in an uprising tide

The morning’s sunrise ends night
We sleep ignoring its relentless light
Hide under covers like crowds
who’ve gathered to hear a beautiful sound

I trace the line from your grins
Abscond with the highlights of where we’ve just been
Brush my teeth and my crowns
with fervent and vigorous rounds
