A Light Out
A Light Out - meaning Summary
Ecstasy as Worshipful Delirium
This short lyric compresses a moment of ecstatic, half-sensual worship. Fragmented images—light, foam, hair, breath—converge into a speaker’s delirious naming of "ecstasy" and an address to a beloved elevated to quasi-divine status. The tone shifts between physical intimacy and spiritual adoration, concluding with an acceptance of doom and a surrender into sleep. The poem juxtaposes bodily detail and exalted language to suggest rapture that is both personal and overwhelming.
