Daylight shone through the black night for a second as the lightning prevailed,
Fierce in its arrival, stark in its presence
Did it leave white heat in the skies it sparked across, as it went tearing through the clouds in a mad raze?
How would such lethal combination of heat and electricity feel against bare skin?
Stop!
Someone needed that light.
The second it shone bright it saved a life
They knew just where to reach for the knife
They knew just where to forget it in the cover of the night
Warm drops of liquid hit his face
A millisecond sooner than they hit hers
His fall was less significant than a tyre rolling violently over a speed bump to land in a pool of rainwater
Her rise was the second lighting bolt to hit that night
The ground it touched is yet to recover
