Even the dog’s
Eyes make me sad
For living
is being with life which
looks at you
through lashes
or the other kind too. Yes,
even the sores
are hard to lose.
Even my dad’s
Eyes make me sad
For living
is being with life which
looks at me
through glasses
or the other kind too. Yes,
even the drink
is hard to lose.
Even my brother’s
Eyes made me sad
For living
is being with life which
looks at me
through memories. Yes.
The living are hard to lose.
