Lovers always talk about flying
Because love is electric
& should not be grounded
Love powers lives into different channels
& shipwrecked & floundering
We ask with rounded eyes
What happened?
Like refugees from the electric chair
We shake our palsied hands
& try not to cry
& try to sleep
& try to overcome
the addiction

Wish I had written this! you convey great intensity in just 13 lines – anyone who has loved and lost will relate to this – if love should not be grounded but is truly electric, does it have connections to the lighting in the sky? to the energy of the earth and of the comos? perhaps true love is that energy which powers all things and we but touch the odd spark and in so doing get burned.
if love is an addiction i don’t want to be cured:)
