A Particle of Interest
There is
a spot in my eye,
a particle of interest,
a speck of attention.
My eye’s eye
is giving
me
trouble.
On my way out
I see . . . battlefields.
On
my way home
I share wounds
with the terribly injured.
Going to sleep
my lids
are finality;
the
responsibility for closing them
is
far too much for any man.
