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
1988
