Here Comes the Sun

Imagine
You’ve Been Given
a Home,
The Giver
a Mystery
for Now.

Imagine The Home
with Dozens of
Rooms Filled With
Every Imaginable
Delight:

Dancehalls and
Theaters and
Cafès and
Galleries
Filled With
Beauty and Joy
of Every Possible
Permutation.

But the Palace Is
Dark.

You’ve Been Told,
or You Just
Know,

There’s a Room
With a Piece of
The Sun,
Waiting To
Light All
That Inconceivable
Delight,

But a Switch
Must Be
Turned On, and
You Can’t Seem To
Find It.

Meanwhile, Outside,
Is a Lineup of
Lightbearers,

Offering an Array
of Flashlights,
Each Claiming To
Be The Only Sun
You’ll Ever Need
Inside.

But What If
Their Only Usefulness

Is To Help
You Find
That Lightswitch
to The Sun.
