I Said Your Name

I said your name
it was a flash of light
a blinding light in my eyes
deer in the headlights
and ghosts in the moonlight
when I said your name,
a light in front of my eyes

I crossed the threshold,
lay down at the entrance,
fell asleep where I lay
and each time I said your name
a bulb went off, flash photography
lighting me up in your reflection
lightning blazing your momentary image

And I said your name all night
One syllable causing a firework
explosion of light in front of my eyes
Each time I said your name
