Alfred Kreymborg, ed. Others for 1919. 1920.

Witter Bynner

Lightning

THERE is a solitude in seeing you,

Followed by your company when you are gone.

You are like heaven’s veins of lightning.

I cannot see till afterward

How beautiful you are.

There is a blindness in seeing you,

Followed by the sight of you when you are gone.
