00291--EYE AND EYE


 







EYE AND EYE

One day my eyes quarreled with each other
One to see a flower with bees around it
Other to focus a woman lay dead in the street
The quarrel went for hours to the day end
The woman by then buried and flower faded
Again they quarreled on the other day
To see rising sun and setting moon
Time grew, spread moments made it noon
The moon unseen, the sun unbearable
Eyes were anguished I gave them rest

While dying I kept them open to the world
But someone gently closed my eyelids
