Eyes

Dart away, fly away, breathe,
deep inside the sockets-
Drift away, lift away, emanate
distance.

Widen, shrink, avoid contact.
Blink occasionally, move with
astounding subtlety.

Hope and pray no one catches
you, dream and sink inward.
Live without thirst.

Catch an image, prolong your pain,
make his image beautiful, meet
those others before he looks away.
Fight penetration, mask melancholy,
joy and disdain.

Search it out, sadness and tears,
and once you happen upon it,
Never sustain.
