Unshook

macro photography of a pupil

I saw you stand up

You are a mountain

You are an eagle

You are this pen

I saw in your eyes

the world, they spoke to me

of “forever”

the time that passes

through one’s pupils 

and into another

I saw the vastness of 

the black universe spill

into someone’s coffee cup

and they drank, and You

You stood there, a rock 

unmoved. It was as powerful 

as this moment

UnShook.

    great stuff with some great lines. You also left room for the readers’ imagination! You are a mountain, You are an eagle. You are this pen! A movement being apprehended by something. yeah great stuff

    I will be repetitive, but I always find something hypnotic in your writing.
