Edytta Anna Wojnar
The Day the Light Went Out
The day began like any Sunday
in May, the golden sun round and fierce
in the sky, a halogen
bulb on a Command hook,
a cumulus swelling and growing
sly tentacles.
Put stones back into the sockets!
Snakes braid into a halo
and now she is
headless, heaving wrecked words.
On a copper cable, a broken fixture
hanged that sunny day in May.
