Let Us Exchange Our Eyes

day kills night and night sleeps into day
death profits the earth trees 
grow like a girl
girls eclipse the moon the first explosion
corpse paint sun red emotions 
hide under the thick bushes
roots grow kisses the sky rain from the 
leaves earth frozen spins on
 its axis upside down
brown mixing with the black 
hesitant
cats roared shadows in the river 
shrunk
bloated faces unarming the ignorance
let us exchange our eyes n 
scrutinise the secrets of their souls
submerge unto the unborn
to morrow
