A vanishing beacon
August 3, 2008
A sharply shining light strikes the corner of my eye.
A strange luminous illusion lingering,
until it vanishes as though it never was.
Again I turn away,
Again it glows.
Glowing light in the dark 3:00 am night
But it isn’t truly there,
Once I turn to face it,
All I see is night’s sightless stare.
