Sonnet of the Eye and the Moon
The Dark Side of the Sun
I have objectified the moon through your eyes,
and replaced my sense of sight with blindness,
from thinking that your glance was shot in kindness
in a big pizza pie now collecting flies.
When the moon strikes in amore tell-tale lies
my hesitation makes me seem so spineless
petrified and plastered before the timeless
monster of vision that weeps and that spies.
/
I have been objectified by the sun's blaze
without any dream of escape, am revealed
to have worn sunglasses at night--just a phase:
where to blindness and infatuation sealed
with crying and with spying, eyeballs graze
surface sting, to have kept them always peeled.
