It strikes my soul
with crackling voltage,
leaves me trembling,
lost in space.
I feel you pass
and without looking,
I magnetize to pull
the current back.
You shoot through me
—shock and polarize
my power source;
suspended, still….
I search for pulse
for energy, a slight vibration
—your touch—at last,
regeneration.
