Prompt: Can you live without electricity for a month?

Power blackout

Burning candles dilate pupils,
A flashlight flickers through the halls.
Furniture is moved, a drink spills,
No one's to catch Night as it falls.

Families huddled together in comfort,
Play board games and have old-fashioned fun.
They are, to make a long tale short,
Waiting for Power to come back on.
