behind dark glasses
strange eyes
that dissolve in darkness
looked up at me
they took off their teeth
first the right then the left
and smiled
over my suspended fourths
strange eyes
diffuse in the pale
dark night of my room
and soar into song
when the music’s over
strange eyes
lids shut
shiver under my fingertips
like a silent counterpoint
strange eyes
look back at me
as in an infinite mirror
i see more of myself
than I’d ever cared to see
or dreamt there was
strange eyes
wilful as an angel
intent as desire
restless as truth
send me postcard puzzles
at the break of day
putting on those slippers
dusty vermillion dusk
making as if to walk off
into the sunset
strange eyes
turn round
tiptoe back to me
to rest awhile
