the static
is an infection

hovering inches off my skin

a mousetrap
waiting to snap

a fuzzy blanket
providing no warmth

please touch me
release me
from this shared prison

a simple touch
gives us
common ground

down to the simplest
electron

understand me
wear my electric flame
as your own

share in the
invisible power

dont trust your eyes
touch me
and see
