Fall For the Eyes
fall for the eyes once over
again, spin up, spin down &
wonder if you’ll ever hit the
ground again---ceasing the caring of
all the poetry that came before
because s/he is staring right back
into you & all of a sudden the
Autumn sun starts to make its
way into your heart
(look again! look again!)
make that cup of coffee &
walk down that hallway &
ease into that line of work &
get up for your break, steal a look,
thieve a peek & take it all in stride,
cause’ if you don’t live now
then when you gonna do it?
nobody is counting your days
except you & all our wicks are
burning, all our fuses growing
shorter---at a different rate?
(you never know)---so fall for
his/her eyes again now, sink
deep into those stargazing “windows”
& indulge, indulge, indulge,
no matter your age,
no matter your persuasion,
we’ve only so many heartbeats
saved for these
occasions.
