eyes

I fell them once again the eyes are back
I feel them watching me
I feel the stares piercing into my brain
I feel their presence
Are they actually there
Are they dead
Are they living
I feel them
I just
Don't
Know 
Where

The fragmented free verse, repeated “I feel,” and narrowing final lines convey mounting anxiety with striking immediacy. The unseen eyes create an unsettling presence, while the unanswered questions leave the reader suspended in the speaker’s uncertainty. You have Soup Mail.
