[Poem] Eyes Like Mine

Thump Thump Thump Thump Bump Bump Bump Bump

Bass
So thick it makes your sternum vibrate
I drift through memory, opening this book again
Infatuation from madness
Re-affirmation of faith through construction
Casting roles in my life.

Bah
I wave my hand, as if in dismissal
I feel so much more adult
Growing up I’ve done
Goals in mind that clutch at my brain
And someone who wants me solidly.

Smile
I am me, with or without her
Yet we’re more than her and I when
we smile from our eyes
Crystalline, infinite, cavernous
Someone has eyes like mine.

Bump Bump Bump Bump Thump Thump Thump Thump

Middle name.

My middle name is Michael.

My dad’s first name is Michael.

Michael (or the root of the name) is the name of one of the Archangels.

The one with the flaming sword.

The one that slew the Dragon.
