What the Light Can Conjure – a poem by Sarah Rehfeldt

What the Light Can Conjure
 
If you find it
(and it may
find you unexpectedly),
hold on to it with your eyes
for a very long time.
Stretch it out against the evening
before it disappears.
If you’re lucky,
you can watch it go
back to where it came from.
