A small action warms me to your life again—

Press your finger into the curve of a disassembled lollypop,

Nudge me from sleep or clap me on the back for shock,

Switch my head and hear the click of the blink; awake.

 

Like those of the distant city

I shine to grasp at all but,

Like your eyes

I come to focus on what is before me:

 

My eye and your eyes 

We stare at similar things throughout the night.

My eye and your eyes

We stare at different things when the city is alight.

Having graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with English Honors, Keesilla loves writing. From character development to rhetorical analyses to the pure vibrancy of words, every part must be savored like a warm pastry, which are one of the things Keesilla enjoys to bake when not reading, writing, or staring off into space.
