Light flickers..power outage..

It's poetic day at dversepoets.com and Karen is hosting;  the subject is fitting 
for Groundhog's  Day, shadow and light, and to take it wherever we want to go, suggesting examples in fine art and literature..this was fresh in my mind;  I will never write like Lorca and my art history knowledge is confined..I can only admire and respect their work.  So free form (no form) it is...;)
.....there was a power outage at an interesting moment during the movie I was watching...I tried to recapture later what I remembered..

                                                                                                                                       the dreyfus affair
lamplight flickering..flicker..flick"...tv interrupted..sputters..
"it involves our foreign policy".. off - on - "secret document"..
- off - on "Treason, Colonel Peacock!"  Darn..wanted to watch that movie!
Oh well...dark house...how long?  resigned myself to bed early..the covers
felt needed...welcoming...I lit 3 candles to read by;
lap top not charged_
dark in all directions outside in neighborhood...recalling days when it was fun to play in the dark..
too tired to wait for lights to come back on...but, caution....
do not fall asleep with candles burning...shwoosh, shwish, whoo!
now,  pleasantly peaceful
only stimuli purr of cat next to me                                                                                                                              
the heating pad? .no electicity.. substitute for intimacy off, but...                                              
restorative rest is what I must have ordered subconciously..
and didn't know it....I'm out like the lights.........1 hour later...blinking digital lights..
blue..led's
penetrate  my eyelids..                                                                                                                                                                                              "save the army"...."and..save France!!!"                                                                                                                     
TV audible from other room...
'Ahh....turning over slowly...stretch..all lights are on..
23:00..time to turn them off again..walking through house..switching off...
"you are hearby sentenced to life imprisonment and 300 francs fine.."....loud>>>>>>>>
lower<<<<<<<<;just right..how much did I miss?
{{{{{((())))))))))))))}}}"THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT IS MORE COURAGEOUS 
EmileZola.jpgTO BE COWARDLY!!"..adjust volume..."knighted to Legion of Honor .. a brave soul..EMILE ZOLA!...the conscious of man...thousands are safe and sound asleep under their roofs in Paris..."  -- turn TV off..dark again...the light and dark of history...myself, a wee bit more enlightened..
