Each day is a halo
an eclipse
There are bright white walls
to his tunnel
and he can see
the start and finish
of the sense of things.
The language they use for this
Macular degeneration
is also nearly blind
It could not see his face
when they told him
they believe their words illuminate
I have so many questions
but I know
from knowing him
where the darkness lies
and can guess
what lies in the darkness
