Lightning

moving like electrons 
too easily attracted
to you 
having an affinity 
that draws me to 
your opposite
is why
there is the electricity
that spawns
the negative
to the postiive
ground 
to sky

lightning

the hands of nature
are fried

and the sense
of being
satisfied
moves through
us
as we traverse
together
tried
and true
