In the Dark
Come, try this exercise:
Focus a beam
Emptied of thinking, outward through shut eyesOn X, your "god" of long ago.
Wherever he is now, the photons race,
A phantom, unresisting stream,
For nothing lights up. No
Sudden amused face,
No mote, no far-out figment, to obstruct
The energy –
It just spends
And spends itself, and who will ever know
Unless he felt you aim at him and ducked
Or you before the session ends
Begin to glow
– James Merrill (1985)
