Peel lids back, lashes plucked,
eyes open, unable to shut. Seen,
never unseen, pupils dilate, open
shut, open shut, tears.

Slid into heaven
Thanks to raven wings and bones
It is a dark room
Scattering of beads, thunder
I wake in the morn
poem written in Tanka form
Peel lids back, lashes plucked,
eyes open, unable to shut. Seen,
never unseen, pupils dilate, open
shut, open shut, tears.
