I huff my breath in fogged dance,
and take my sleeve to wipe it true.
I swipe the lines of circumstance--
I notice there are hues of blue
reflected in the looking glass--
there be no place to run and hide
my pupils shrivel their repast
I yearn to see, but curse my eyes.

always staring, back at me--
a finger wagged, accusing deed.

My eyes?
They are not beautiful.
My eyes
are soldiers dutiful--
My eyes show my obscenity--

My eyes report my past to me...

the mirror lies!
a silvered glass
cannot forsee
expected sight
indulged

ease up on yoself
or
use my eyes

Hey witch! Liked the whole of it, (relating) but this pretty much said it all. No?

"What color are your eyes?"
"The past."

What happens happens and cant be changed.  Its kind of like knowing something and not wanting too.  Nice write.

The eye's are what they say they are. Enjoyed the read.

then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
