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.
