a moment in the kitchen
I'm in the kitchen. At the sink. Cleaning a dish. The room becomes brighter. For a brief moment, I wonder. Where is that extra light coming from? Just as I finish that thought. Crash! Whoa! Without turning around, I know. The heavy glass cover of the light fixture came crashing down. A foot behind me. Scattering across the kitchen floor. I stood there. For a moment. In my socks. Surrounded by shards.
