The Neon Night

Suddenly I'm aware of how you
Fl-ick-er like the hot neon sign in the night--Vacancy.
Light me up in the cool dark air between vulnerable seconds,
But only with a blink-blink
Of momentary acknowledgement.

Viv--id color, enj--oy.

I carry around 6 seconds like charms on my wrist,
Calling them mine. Stumbled in the dark towards the
Glowing and promising cunning ruse; stay with me, you're safe.

Can you see me in the lilting glow, pursuing your
Iridescent seconds and faltering half-lit grins?
I dissolved into your obsidian heart while
You blinked into an impeccable facade of balance between
Flickk--erri-ng and charming--

Vacancy. Moth drawn. Light me up.
