these sore eyes


 I sure could use a sight
         for these sore eyes,
been lookin’ at the same
         wall of nuthin’
for what seems like eons
         or somethin’ like.

Not so long ago now
         I looked out on
forever green fields of
         somethin’ to see
besides the concrete that
         most tend to show.

If I look into me,
         color appears
and it’s fine for a spell,
         not dull and gray,
but where is that in some
         one else to see.

I’m thinking I’m foolish
         peacock flashin’
to draw out what I want
         as calming salve
to ease the desert burn
         for I can’t see.

I sure could use a sight
         for these sore eyes.
