Filming Lightning

filming lightning
sounds easy
it isn’t

you have to outguess the lightning
and snap the photo
before it appears

lightning-fast is not a joke
it is real
I took seventy-six photos tonight
trying to capture lightning

four of them have lightning on them
sky is pink in every photo
not what the naked eye saw
I guess lighting is too fast to see too
