362: Can't Look Away

I've stared into the sun

so many times

that there's a permanent spot

on my right eye.

Most of the time

I don't notice

that it's there.

But when I do

I can't look away.

I trace it

in loops around the room,

unable to pin it

to a particular shade

or coloured wall.

Watching you talk, laugh,

change in the morning,

fall asleep in the evening,

I wonder if you'll become

a permanent spot

somewhere deeper than my eyes.
