Cornea

Connect me to my childhood

when bliss was oblivion.

Connect the dots that made me.

From my cornea to retina

through the vitreous humour

what was it before,

before I imprinted into my cerebrum.

Bring it back to me

what I saw

and what it was.

What I know and what I feel.

Connect it,

and lead me to.

Let me and help me

rebuild my reality.

What I am is

what I saw,

but what I saw

wasn’t and maybe was.

From my cornea to retina,

or maybe even before

or on the backside of my eyelids.

What I want and need

is of what I am.

What I am may be

or may not be

because what I saw,

I saw or not.
