lens
they say eyes
are windows to the soul -
we're built with
walls in mind and
hands to hold
but we can't
stop
the rocks we throw -
our eyes are
centered on black holes -
and glass: it
shatters foolishly,
although
before it was
just smoke,
and yet the colors -
not grey, no -
they shine
when light
hits edge
just so.
