When the light goes out…

A nonet not about a blown lightbulb

By Kenneth cruzPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Somewhere a lightbulb flickers and dims

It crackles and pops with a hiss

As it dies there is darkness

The radiance now gone

With a final flash

It’s empty glass

Sad the light
