deeper, perhaps

deeper, perhaps. so soon too soon
to tell beyond the electricity.
little static charges dancing
inside along within skin.

but deeper, perhaps, than that.

is it enough that the shock has not
started a fire but instead
conceived a simple awareness of
the sparks themselves?

lights become lighter, sound
quieter, perhaps, just more complete,
maybe just different.
is it enough not be blinded?
not to be deafened?

touch almost enveloping but not
quite surrounding.
everything feels deeper, perhaps,
softer more inviting.

is it enough to be invited?

so hard too hard to place a finger on
this much clarity all at once.
so hard to imagine not wanting to,

but there it is.

an admission, perhaps,
a secret that didn't even know
it was being kept.

and deeper, perhaps, than that.
