Shoelace loose, still I run
Clock keeps blinking, almost done
Someone laughs behind my ear
Not my joke, still pulls me near
Paper cup, too hot to sip
Drop by drop, I let it drip
Every rule I almost knew
Tilts a little when you move
I don’t frame it
I don’t name it
I don’t ask what this is for
Something tiny
Something sudden
Hits the floor when I walk
Spark in—
Spark in my step
Every beat skips what I said
I don’t plan it, I don’t care
It’s already in the air
Spark in—
Spark in the sound
Little clicks when you’re around
Say it wrong or say it late
Still it gets me just the same
Spark in
(—)
Spark in
Right there
Neon shaking, chewing gum
Sticks to thoughts I didn’t want
Someone counts from one to four
I forget what that was for
Lines get messy, signs go quiet
Wrong direction, still I try it
If this moment had a shape
It would slip before I say it
Not a warning
Not a promise
Not a story I repeat
Just a rhythm
Out of nowhere
Tapping softly in my feet
Spark in—
Spark in my step
Every beat jumps something next
I don’t reach it, I don’t stare
Still it pulls me unaware
Spark in—
Spark in the sound
Tiny noise that sticks around
Call it nothing, call it strange
Still it sparks me just the same
Spark in—
Spin it back
Spark in
Like that
If it fades, I let it fade
If it stays, I’m not afraid
I don’t need a clean reply
I like sparks that misalign
Spark in—
Spark in my step
Feel it rush, then disconnect
No big word, no headline
Just the spark that slips inside
Spark in—
Spark in the air
If you feel it, we’re already there
Say it quiet, say it fast
Spark it now and let it pass
Spark in
Still in
