if I could only see you


I’ve lost sight of the end game
due to reasons beyond my control

if you could see what I see
it would be death & destruction
cast upon the many by the hands of a few

it’s as if a monster tornado
has ripped through sleepy little towns
leaving them leveled & burning
for days on end

forget the nuclear tactical weapons
conveyed from one place to the next
they’ve not the power to take my sight
even though I can see no more
with my very own eyes

other than their own


complicating the situation
by pretending tomorrow doesn’t exist
that the eyes
when studied on a molecular level
reveals far more
than any absolute truth

at an early age
the children were taught
the fine art of voodoo doll making
experimenting with various
fabrics & stuffing & buttons
paying particular attention to the
details within the eye

there is possibility in effort
& craftsmanship in magic
a potent combination
reserved for those willing
to practice the art of sight
other than their own




may two thousand twenty-one
