Here is the great unweighting  –
all the relative values, all the tallies,
every burden of things done and left undone,
all the verdicts and the sentences,
from outside and from within,
now gone

We are not weighed down,
we were never so defined  –
we fly up like light
(which is exactly true,
since light is instant, and what flew
was maybe our perception
(though we then find
that our awareness was always there))

We are not defined
by anything that can fall –
we are unweighted
and our consciousness
is filled with light.
