I see you, refulgent ones,
Burning so steadily
Like big white arc lights…
There are so many of you.
I like to watch you weaving-
Altogether and with precision
Each his ray-
Your tracery of light,
Making a shining way about America.
I note your infinite reactions-
In glassware
And sequin
And puddles
And bits of jet-
And here and there a diamond…
But you do not yet see me,
Who am a torch blown along the wind,
Flickering to a spark
But never out.
