From The God's Messy Workplace: "Outage" by Yuyutsu Sharma

 

Outage

Yuyutsu Sharma

 

I sleep

on the couch

 

of my living room,

eyes shut tight,

 

face turned

to the sky,

 

I fumble through

wide glassy window

 

and know when

the power returns

 

I will know

its arrival

 

even with

my eyes closed.
