22. (11-13-19, Lewiston High School)
Sometimes when sight is shifted on someone
It creates a sense not felt on another
Like a mob of gastric butterflies in hurricane winds
And it has everything to do with eyes
There’s something about eyes
They’re significant and profound
The Universe is reflected on their curves
And it’s with these mirrors we see the Universe
Each pair is distinct and beautiful
Like glowing jewels in a chest of gold
Gazed upon with longing by dragons
Achieved by those who are brave and bold
One can’t help but feel within
We’re slaves to our psyche ‘til soil’s embrace
Even if a love is forbidden forever
Sensation’s a mystery of melancholic grace
Though not more than chemical
A structure of protein and matter
Biology’s institutions create all the same
A spiritual wonder and passion within
