Her eyes are every color
under the sun, and then some-
mostly flecks of golden
kansas wheat and earthy brown-
and when they are green
- i've seen mountains grow
and valley scenes below
-sometimes gray as if they know
winter is coming, slow
-but when they're blue, so blue-
water wells at the fate of the sioux,
and the broken bird's egg, a dog
with three legs, and a sky sky-blue
- mostly, she has kansas in her eyes.
