look into my eyes
look into my eyes
and see that bright white
see it glow in your sight
see-

too deep
it's ocean blue frozen
into ice of Neptune

rivers of pummeled glass
dust mountain peaks and lead
down to a ravine of Lapis Lazuli

search its hidden depths
search deep within your chest
search-

deeper still
it's black water
blind men sunk in a cave

tears and blood
leak from shadows paved
to a floor of stone, sticking cold

run from their reaching grasp
run from their snapping jaws
run-

deepest of all
it's white noise
snow on television screens

a tiny spark of
dreams and secret things
from a naked boy, fearful of the night

see that shining light
see that glittering light
see that fading light

as you
stare out my open eyes.
