    SUMMER LIGHTNING, prose poem in 50 words
    Hit by lightning! The shock of ultra-neon electric illuminates her body.
    It’s not the first time she’s been struck, though it always takes her by surprise,
    this sudden flash of incandescence.
    She’s lonely, and looking for a little combustion.
    He says his name’s Flint.
    “Bring it on, cowboy,” she whispers.
