Phantoms And Photons

Phantoms And Photons

So:

I Asked A Ghost
(Collectively)
How Is It
That You See?

I Need A Clear
Lens And Rods
And Cones And
Neurons And
A Brain...

I Even Need
A Brain To
Dream, To
Speak With
You!

To Know Of "See."

***

And Then:

What You "See"
Is What I
Allow You
To See:

A Reflection
Of Me, A 
Measure Of
Light.

What I Am
IS The Light
Of You And
Of These Things.

I Don't Need 
To See.

I AM

You Still 
Need
To "See."

***

Well ---
That Works.
