Your New Eyes

your new eyes
musty old sockets
see the x-ray of me
a varied future preduct
sans a shared identity

your new eyes
their misleading lids
transmitting morse lies
tearing holes that can't be stitched;
dark untruths smother the lights

your new eyes
a mean face make
despite the broad smile
the smirk of snakes
cancel the beguile

seems your peepers are
the means for demons,
i'm the tenant of your penance...
this blessed obsession
doesn't recognise your new eyes
