Ok, This may sound a little silly, but give it a try. I was prompted to do this because of trying it myself at different times of the day and seeing different things, and then trying to figure out, how would I describe that to someone. So here it is...Close your eyes and describe what you see. Lets elaborate and see if we can use at least 50 words....try not to use your imagination...just vivid description of what you see. Try a dark room, or outside/different times, then give it a go! tag me

I Close My Eyes

smooth black,

specked in dust,

but I still see some

color bleeding through.

it all feels far away,

like breathing on

the tips of reach.

hiding as though

my vision is caustic,

and beasts play in

the blended depths

of my failed perception,

memory makes

my bones ache for

the last of the veil

and my words nestle

in the corner trying

to survive another day,

avoiding permanent

rest upon the page.
