The Cave

for RK

return to light

eyes blinded after darkness

impenetrable

it’s just too much all at once

greedy pupils expand/contract

will the images fade

like photographs

overexposed?


return to light

return to water after starvation/

thirst

troglodyte climbing

climbing from the bowels of the earth

the eyes have not gone useless

yet


electric blue gaze of heaven

paralyzing

teach me again

to behold the universe
