Intraocular

Intraocular

(Harder, 2012)

Floating in and out of my sight

You occasionally surprise me

Every time I look and stare

In the direction of light

And every place that I go

Your face is plastered on walls

Like a tease you impose

With insurmountable force

Illusions that won’t erode.

You’re intraocular, dear.

And you just won’t disappear.

You’re intraocular, dear.

Intangibly near.

I think I just might have to refract

(And that’s a natural fact)

When you’re the only light

That pierces through this viscous black.

And you may not even notice

that everyone knows this.

Illuminating the night

As I close my eyes.

In dreams, I’m never blind.

“Tell me what you see Tell me honestly.

That in light of all of this, you expect opportunity.”
