eyes prose


remember the day
i swam
in the pools
of your irises?

body slowly wading
with graceful hair
and arms embrace
your pupils so intent
with vehemence

darting into my own
penetration
of a different sort
as the colours fanned outward
from the centre.

i swallowed these memories
now i try
to digest.

finally seeing fireworks
in the sky
instead.

with hope and circumstance skewed
how i got here and you there
time, place, reason
you and i being anyone and everyone
even though we were two.

the eyes remain
although unseen.
