Eye Lashes
She rubbed her eyes so much
that the dark she saw every
Goddamn
Night
Turned like a frivolous little inchworm
Turned big
Wings
Kicked up the dust
In her head went everywhere
And NERO
Burned
As the fiddles
Romed
She rubbed her eyes so much
That her eyelashes fell
Down
And
Out
And her hands turned gold
and they said
What a faith she must have
Because GOD wouldn’t have
Given her
gold
If her thoughts smelled like shit
Those eyelashes fell,
Down
And
Out
Where they fell,
Who the hell knows?
All I know is, angel tears made them
Grow
And the new eyes of the Earth
OPENED
Up
And new eyes fresh from
No eyes
Looked at the world
And wept
For keeping your eyes closed for too long
Hurts when you open them again
