I have seen many things.
"Doctor my eyes" don't we all know and can carry that tune?
I have seen things that were razor sharp and might cut my feet.
I walked carefully those days.
I have seen things that were blurry wet and cold.
I wore thick shoes and shivered in the crunching white noise.
It was all such a cacophony.
complexity.
Migrating and flowing like the rainbow oil in the gutter after very heavy rain.
Sometimes it was so simple like a woman's silk skirt.
Now those days they were the hardest of all.
Nuf said, right?
But, in all the fractures, splinters, twirling and twisting
I couldn't see anything at all.
I just simply put didn't know how.
As hard as I tried, I couldn't fathom the beauty.
How deep does this shape-shifting reality go anyway?
Ya ya, I saw the pain.
I one time looked deep into a woman's eyes, and I could see she was blinded by her agony.
I asked politely, lady look at me.
She said," I can't."
I still see those perfect green eyes in mine.
Perhaps I always will.
I know damn sure I always have.
Heck, I have seen the suffering of every living thing I have ever seen.
Am I being married to wonder if they have ever seen me?
Or like green eyes, they just can't?
That's ok lady.
I'll look harder next time.
And maybe...
If I ever so gently touch one of your eyelashes.
You will feel a little better.
Hey, there is a first time for everything.
