eyes

your eyes are heavily framed with the darkest brown
lashes like the bark of pine trees after a heavy rain
when they're wet, the stick together like little tee-pee huts
all alignment of bark and night

the outer corners of your eyes droop down like you have a big secret to tell,
but you don't
so when you're sad, it intensifies and my heart stops
your eyes like a child's, so innocent
like you cannot understand why people have to be so mean

the color is the prettiest
like watercolor of the lightest wash of teal
over golden sea-glass
the color of catalina's oceans;
transparent but layered with beauty
