Love…(in the time of climate change)

I’d leave a light on for you,

Love

but I am not sure

I can afford the bill

or the pain

any crisis would cause

to my non renewable heart

that has beaten itself

countless times

in its foolish idolation

for a struggling return

of kisses net zero

but

should you care to try again,

Love

just follow the winding wind

through a turbulence

of turbines

past the unphotogenic

voltaic power farm

and along the electrifying 

banks of the Hydro plant

and you’ll find me

at the end of a trail

of flustered fireflies

shivering in the half light

of a single incandescent bulb

hanging onto hope

where I wait

in witless wonder

to embrace you

once again

just don’t 

bump your head

on the way in.
