WD 114 “The Eyes Watch the Body”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

The Eyes Watch the Body

Autumn is a luxury

A gift to those born in the spring

When rains are heavy, cold and merciless 

Branches are greener for me, always greener 

Like a secret tucked away or an 

Insect, imprisoned in a paradise of amber 

See how the eyes shake

How the fingers curl into feeble claws 

But I am, behind

You

Always behind

Watching you take two steps forward

While I take one forward and one backward

Trying to understand the motion of your body through

Lenses of orange color
