flash blindness

storm clouds on your face

make me sad too

so i reach for a ray of sun in the sky

and clip a stalk to give to you

your fingers wrap around it

the glow lights up your face

you are luminous

the storm is gone without a trace

but i stared at the sun for too long

and for a moment i went blind

i forgot how fast light travels

you were gone when i regained my sight
