pasSing into the sun from inside
struck blind.
eyelids flutter
moths frantic before a brilliant
bulb
shadows etchedstitched.
gaspinggrappling
missing the unseen eyes watching
their exit
entrance.
their wistful witness
remembers
their joyous rioting riotous
joys
the desperate closing quiet
the gray insecurities of their unformed
youth.
watching
jealously
the day yawning unproposed
their senses unconstructed
sensuality breeds
breathes
bleeds
their unreasonable confidence
seamless
unintentional.
their eyes adjust.
they trigger their slight
antennae
flylines spiderwebs
groping sensate
grabbingup gobblingup gobs
filter
sieve
hone their wheres and whats and
whys.
the watcher unaccused
drops their gaze
and turnsaway shotthrough with doubleaught memories agape
yanked on
acid
barbed hooks
and across their backs they feel the
twist and stab of provocations that fall unmet
unaroused
away
a way
each continuing in either direction.
