An arc of searchlight
And, as such, a not quite accurate way of going about it
If you were looking for some lost thing
In the ring of dark circling the Earth
If the path of light you hunted with
Emerging from underneath the horizon
And trained, not by you, but a hand unseen
Ended with a sideways bend
If its torch forked and flickered as if overworked
If it torqued inside itself with a wow and a flutter
A now you see it, now you don't
How long would it take before you'd make the leap?
Would you look at those freak streaks in the sky forever
Before saying, "I see the light: this is what I sought tonight"?
