Vampire Eye
When one eye is injured
Be certain the other is hurt,
The connection is certain
In flickers of light transferred:
Seven days now,
My eye is dreading the sun,
It was a fight of the last,
Nothing left in between but the truth:
We should not have fought,
We did:
I hope we did not bury our love
When we buried her mother
The week before:
Now I am lonely, nursing a vampire's eye
It is only comfortable with the night,
It shies the sun.
