It unfolds around us

in a sinuous way,
washing through our
heads in a wave of
rapidly erupting,
rapidly extinguished
flickers of energy,
its contours glimpsed
for an agonizing moment
and then, with impish
brazenness,
pulled away from our
helpless view,
leaving us bereft
and entranced
in the same
instant.
