Your First Stare

is short-lived.
Deep.
Like a crypt
yet coherently-linked
with your windblown hair
strewn with rubberclips poly-carbonated.

Candid.
As a sneeze 
yet non-allergenic.

On its last seconds,
its supremacy 
situated along the alleys of lashes
tightly-knit my lips
as if all-perceiving:

blunt 
as a snore

yet

casual 
as a yawn

etched 
on heart's core.

Be that as it may
as i hang endured
for its sequel...
