follow the light

i find
the matches in the drawer,
feeling
my way around the darkened
house,
the power out
from the storm.
i'm lighting candles
on the sill,
the tables,
i carry one around
up
the stairs to the bedroom.
i'm in a movie, an old
movie
a romantic movie
in black, white.
when can you get here?
the door will be open,
follow the light.
