we have connections we must make
heart to heart
a power chord between people
letting fast electrons move between souls
volts attacking the body and mind
through lips
through hands
through words
a steady strong dangerous current
quick to burn any given person...
I'm scared to connect
terrified that by plugging into that person
the pain of this circuitry
the scream inducing burn
of this electricity
of this love
will short circuit my heart
again.
