Electric Water


Surreal reflections shining off cracked glass puddles,

Rain trickles downward, carrying blue light that splashes the ground making it seem shiny, new and hyperrealistical.

Homeless men huddle in a group to keep safe from the stabbing cold and piercing rain,

The group gets smaller every winter, but not from luck and fortune giving them home.

A sodden dog walks with a blind man, both trying to find shelter,

Decorative lightbulbs hang over wet and damp,

Electricity runs through this shimmering mottled ground,

Casting hope among the past unlit town.
