There is a way there from here,
but it has long fallen into disuse.
We call the light tomorrow
and imagine our best selves there,
moving in the shapeless white
of the first day. (Having already
forgotten, perhaps for the best,
the selves left behind, the ones
who built the tunnel into ever after,
and have been waiting ever since,
for word.)
