That was my interpretation before, but this is what I think it real means: Nikola Tesla. When "Portrait (He Knew)" is about Albert Einstein and "Closet Chronicles" is about Howard Hughes, it would make sense that "Lightning's Hand" is about Nikola Tesla. I'd even be willing to bet that "Point of Know Return" is about Christopher Columbus or Leif Erikkson or the like.
