I love his eyes
-not only the hazel innocence
That I swooned over when we first met
But their ability to peel the world
Layer by layer
Like a tangerine
Clawing and peeling the tough outer skin,
Breathing in the fragrant oils from it’s pores
And separating the wrapped segments
He examines them…
‘What blood flows through these veins?’
He wonders
Before removing each foggy veil
Revealing the world’s nakedness
Wet with vulnerability
The juices run down his tidy fingers
New Poetry by Michael W Rafuse, Jr.
