Eyes

Hair, or body, or eyes. 
Eyes are straggling behind. 
Nothingness. 
There exists such thing as beneath. 
And around.
As if I could reach anything with these hands. 
This sweeping, winking tall grass. 
My mind. 
Dumping out a howling water bottle.
Sweeping with a broom, broom, broom!
Then it clips and clicks with empty teeth. 
My brain closes up a bit. 
So I can hear again. 
Hair, or body, or eyes. 
I have millions of eyes. 
Some of them are waking. 
Some of them are smoldering. 
Some of them are me. 
As a bit of hair moves out of my face.
The struggle. 
You can see my eyes?
Not anymore.
