I'm Static Electric



I burn, a lamp fluorescent.

I turn, wind up,

The mechanics of you.

I’m the spark,

Of which poets write.

Nylon carpets and Bakelite

Brushing against you in a crowded malls

I’m static electric, the handshake of love.

Horror in all its forms. Ghosts to monsters, books to films, reviews, interviews and the occasional story or two.
