Spurious lightning ...

It was Norf who developed and tuned that phrase. He said it often enough. One day he announced that it was his phrase, only to be used to describe those certain moments. 
We lay in a haze for what could have been days. 
I concluded that it couldn't be a phrase because it wasn't long enough. He assured me it was. There was no point in arguing and there was no desire to begin arguing because the bliss had yet to dim, the numbness was still a few hours off.
Those two words come back to me a lot though. I never did fully understand what he meant at the time - nothing we said meant much - but now I think that his phrase was perhaps a signal he was planting in my consciousness, a signal which would awake in my mind when I least expected it, to remind me of those days, to try to direct me back again.
