the free man
eyes like hummingbirds
darting, drinking in these flowers
deep and focused. watching me
eyelashes flutter, delicate like wings
then hover over damp and grassy earth
see? see the small and dainty things
pass by. the buds of leaves
old and cracked dry trees
the world. through eyes of water
like birds sipping water
in that way that no one understands
but i–i see
i see you watching me.
