(Oil on canvas)
 
Have you ever looked at eyes before?
And I don’t mean simply looking,
but sinking into them—
feeling your entire body
coated in their waters.
Looking so deeply they distort,
no longer eyes but tunnels.
Tunnels that run deep into the bloodstream,
tracing back centuries,
carrying countless generations and their secrets.
 
Have you ever looked at eyes before?
Not just looking,
but letting yourself be unfolded by them
until you see your naked reflection
projected onto their wetness.
Looking so deeply you begin to feel
a sudden, physical discomfort—
someone has trespassed
right into you.
 
Have you ever looked at eyes before?
And realized there are always two—
each one bearing witness to the other
so that when you open those lids and see,
you can trust
you are seeing the truth.
 
Have you ever looked at eyes before?
And read the words written in their color,
watched them turn pages with each blink,
comprehending more easily
than their lips could articulate.
 
Eyes will show you more
than words can ever tell you.
