String of Lights

String of Lights
David J Walker

Stretching as far back as
I can remember
A string of lights shines
(one at a time)
On each day 

The wall plug energizes from
Deep within the last century
Dulling each mise-en-scène 
That is numbered

As I walk down its namesake lane
The nearest shine bight 
(At last fading into a distant past) as
The bulbs flicker their luster and
Vanish from sight
