eyes return your answer with a stare
the weight pulled your eyes shut
with your hands in your pockets

saltwater conjured images
of days unumbered, weight.

the shade fell across your face at an angle
concealing your dark eyes, set in deep sockets
with honesty reflected through black shadow stares.

maturity, resist emotion
eyes reflecting images often lost
eyes, in time

i sat through pencil-drawn expressions
but never stared directly into your eyes

Reflecting images often lost.
