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.
