Brass Eyes-- Oju Ide

Oju Ide-- Brass eyes

Flashing across the scene

Witnessing the many sins

Unveiling men

As hollow beings

vile vibrating vehemently

Sounding like brass bells 

settling in a place of inert

nesting like fallen logs

in a deadened hearth    

repelling the usual

charming the unusual

while grappling with the curse   

of a woven heart

I enjoyed your poem. The brass bell reminded me of the bell they rang to mark the end of playtime at school. :-)
