Lost Blue Eye

An affliction of perspective
      ambivalent orchestra
of vectors happens to gaze
      out upon a heap of barely
acknowledged particulars
      like a fancy view hiding
in plain sight on the planes
      for me with a satchel
of sand & glass & caressing
      hands slathered in wasabi
so be careful what you wish for
      when wishes are holes
in the visage for weeping
      a shower of tears like literally
a shower blasting that look
     off your face like it was
an early death or a carefully
     orchestrated controversy
calibrated to further inflame
     these days of strange odors
seeping from pores & from cracks
     in the floor beneath your
feet bloodied to stumps from
     so much humping toward
the horizon you can see so clearly
     & yet shifts with each stumbling
step until all that's left is space
     for a lone soul's sojourn
across the firmament as his capsule
     implodes & his chute deploys
two seconds too late to save him.
