Porcelain Eyes
A Poem for the Deep
Published in

Porcelain eyes
See plainly through
They melt into swirls
Of oil and water
Porcelain eyes
Are the tears of the earth
The vases of overgrown tulips
Effortlessly breaking
To spill the flowers honey
Porcelain eyes
Are sharper than knives
And smoother than air
There are no tears to shed
Or clay to sculpt
Porcelain eyes
Are the bounds of emotion.
