Who do you—think, you are
What are you looking at
—How did I address that?
When I look into your eyes
It’s the same as looking at the stars
When we each wondered if
If, either they’re dead or alive.
The world is cynical
Your eyes are cylindrical
They’re the only two stars; left in the sky.
I sense I haven’t seen enough to know
I sense I haven’t seen enough of them
Not even if I look into them
Unblinking, until I, go.
