Such a Delicate Hair
A hair about a centimetre long!
Was it an eyelash
or a tiny piece of nasal ornamentation
in this library book?
Was it left here by the last borrower?
Or has she - or he -
found it, known it was from
the previous borrower, and ignored it?
How long could eyelash
or nasal hair
remain here on page sixty-five
almost defying its removal?
Or will a

Eyelash Soup
Eyelash soup
Get it while you can
It tickles all the way down
It makes you want to move and shout
When you eat two bowls
You get a wild urge to clean
Everything you have never cleaned before
You will move your oven out
Because that is what eyelash soup does for you
Hello, sir, how many bowls do you want?

Before blowing on it with all the air in my lungs
Don’t know if my messengers sailed to you
Today I found a thick one as I rubbed my eye
And I tossed it aside
I’m aghast at the response of my fingers

Eyelash
You can make a wish when all
Your birthday candles blow.

Whoosh Goes the Eyelash
A baby girl cant seem to make out the strand she picked off her chin is an eyelash or a
nostril hair? To wish or not to wish?

Eyelash
As subtle as a breeze
As thin as an eyelash
As timid as a tear
Love reappeared
Although days multiplied
And years doubled
Time cannot degress value
Essence of intimacy
Even though hope embarrased itself
And doubt grew strong
The end's tide came
And caressed the center of my joy
Though subtle as a breeze
And thin as an eyelash
Even timid as a tear
Love reappeared
