diamonds in your eyes
there is color behind those clouds
behold and open your eyes
there’s much more to discover
beyond this black & white world
do not cry moonchild of mine
unfold your palms from your eyes
[and even though you cannot see]
soon you’ll learn to read & write
I’ve described myself to you
in so many words and phrases
and yet you ask to touch my face
telling me to keep quiet for a minute
at least there’s color in my voice
[you tell me beneath your breath]
hands in your pockets & looking away
as if there are diamonds in your eyes
november two thousand nineteen
