cabotage

waiting for repair
by the engineer
who fills the space
between
electrons
with frisson
of cabotage
bits of our borders
mingling and mixing
like frenetic dancers
charging the ionized air
with subtle expectation
till curiosity draws me
from my Faraday cage
to be galvanized or electrified
defibrillate my sclerotic heart
with a key
a kite
a lightening strike
to start me up again
