Those Cracks In Sidewalks Never Leave

Have You Seen Blind?

blind like a sea roaring off shore
or a tree waving from the top of
a mountain – no one has climbed -
blind like ants in the shadow
of a step, or a temple - a day after war -
blind like a crosswalk or a keyhole
in the night...
blind as a bird in a storm.
blind as a winner - losing again...
blind as sunshine - a screen to a
widow’s web.
blind like worn shoes of a dancer,
or a statue directing our way -
blind as a lamppost in daylight -
blind as a window draped in cloth -
blind like darkness you have brought.
