More Lines 2K17: 20

In Your Eyes

Blood and muscle. A lens
and humor behind. The nervous
bundle. A canal named
for the man who first cut it out.
Empty little fist clenches
in the light. Rainbuckets gather
form and color. A movie playing
your waking life, whispered right
side up by wisdom. All this but
twice, side by side in you, like
the sprockets of a mixtape,
like the first two dots of an ellipsis.
