The Loudest Fiber
My eyes say it all
They tether and beckon,
Billow, shake, disrupt and push
My eyes are more eloqent than their empty novella
They recite Shakespeare and recount glories
My 3 pounds of blanketed fibers speak louder
Than their 180 pounds of pseudo- care,
Frauded factitious, you charlatan of desire
Mine moan, growl, shoot and scream
Even the moon and stars hear my pupils
I can haunt them with a moments glance
My lashes bounce, tempting them to the trap-
My lipped mouth
My eyes remind them of the warmth they never allowed
The love they refused,
The bitterness they planted
My eyes say-
But they cannot hear me because they cannot see
