Your eyes and my eyes

Black cave 

And blinking in the dark space 

Where light cannot reach 

“Your eyes are so yellow, so bloody, so red” 

Are these eyes — my eyes — so gruesome and horrible? Blinking in the dark of this small room 

These eyes — you can see them in the dark 

But black eyes — dark eyes — all shadow and night That cleave to the shadows 

That make no space in the night 

Those eyes — they hide in the dark
