Oblivious.
Wandering eyes find
places to light
unnoticed... mostly.
Waking up,
bathing in adoration,
lapping up the
still/indifferent/distance/ravenous.
But the rush
comes fast,
goes quicker.
In place,
love-sick(er).
Gushing,
sans filter,
chafes the raw
long hidden truths
hanging unrequited,
surprised at themselves.
I saw the purge coming,
having long created
indifferent spaces,
coaxing vulnerability,
clearing the room.
Freedom allows loyalty,
filling caverns of doubt
crossing seas of need.
Truly free.
I see
with eyes unopened.
Post- delivered premonitions.
Odd-eye-out.
Mourning lifted veils
dancing in Jazz funerals.
