Flickers

Hold
                                     me close
                                         while
                                     shadows
                                     elongate,
                                      swaying
                                            to
                                      the tune
                                    of flickers.
                           Heartened whispers
                                     luminice.
                                       Kisses
                                       strum
                                    makeshift
                                    acoustics,
                                   broadcasts
                                           of
                                       cryptic
                                         light.
