I am wide eyed;
Attentive and glittering and eager.
Consumed
By your incessant stream of enlightened expression.
Your eyes,
Enigmatically, agressively determined,
Seek constant, ruthless contact with mine.
I constrict, I turn away
From the acute awareness of my inadequacy.
Of my comparatively weak mind,
Eclipsed by your emphatic,
Evocative words which lead
Me deeper, deeper into the black, unfamiliar,
Imbalanced analysis wherein you thrive.
Elevated, blinded, confounded by your eloquence.
But you are only beauty and truth and goodness and power.
And even in my stunned state of disordered mediocrity,
This I understand with irrevocable clarity.
