Boil

the eyes all saw me and
knew me, from here til
Kingdom Come, if it will—
and eyes, when they’re a
certain shade of long-lashed
brown, they boil. your eyes
saw me and thought they
knew me, from here to
there and never, if it isn’t—
and if they’re your eyes, I want to
run. so off I went from here til
forever came and after
forever came I was
safe. finally. and

the eyes all see me now and
don’t know me here
and that’s just fine with me
