the eyes have it
the eyes have it and we’re
in agreement
i keep looking anyway
back again
back again
and why not
once more
the eyes really do have it
all
in ascension to the stars
passing debris and on
into oblivion
in the bowels of the earth
in ancient caves engraved with
kneeling figures licked by torchlight
the eyes have had it all along
and have held potential
held my gaze for millennia
while in passing
all material
at the edge of time
and space
empties in a glance
with knowing that
the eyes have it
and we’re in agreement
