i have seen
the light bend
its path, making
the journey from me
to you to me
i have seen it
make it right

the first electron goes
to 1s orbital, the second
there as well, and
the next, to the next
orbit, savouring their
energy dance, they are
on our devices, if
there was a bell, the bell
would ring, the swiping thumbs
busier than our feet

the pines whistle, if they
spoke, we will
not listen, i know
of electrons moving
between orbitals, making light
for once i want
to see the light, not
what it does
