Glow

remember when you were little
and you'd press a flashlight
to the tips of your tiny fingers
just to see the light shine through

the human body suddenly seemed
so much more magical
the orange glow revealing
insides on outsides

skin and bone no longer
totally impenetrable
light moves through the body
physical becomes intangible

we are really not so different
from shadow puppets
and bedtime stories
