Eyes: Elegy 18

Eyes

You were over

The moon when

Obama was elected

Now only moon

Watches you watching

The DNC from

Hereaftersville / need no

Screen no Stevie Wonder

No candidate’s son

To weep unmediated tears

Only form of honesty

That’s left / staged

As mockery this

Morning / to see

Compassion’s blade

In my father’s

Eyes too no static

A kind clarity

Clarion to us who

See in the human

Way / image after

Image all the way

Down like turtles

Holding earth for

You to look

Back from your

Moist eyes I

Miss them all

My Bodhissatva kin
