Eyelids Wear the Cold

EYELIDS WEAR THE COLD Eyelids wear the cold shivering in the dark neither dull nor bold doubloons lost their spark Shivering in the dark weeping manic tears doubloons lost their spark fruition of her fears Weeping manic tears mascara runs on lashes fruition of her fears as his short life crashes mascara runs on lashes neither dull nor bold as his short life crashes eyelids wear the cold 2/16/2020 PANTOUM Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier Theme:I will miss you
