Freaky Eyes

freaky eyes

must i have those freaky eyes
to be famous with you
-do i even want to?

i bet you live in a pretty place
with bodies and minds
and deep blue nights

and some days
I thought i’d like
to be a flower in your vase
instead of one outside
or a meeting in your day
instead of one gone by

but that might bring insomnia
and it might be a mistake
it might turn into Lucifer
or buds frozen wide awake

I’ve lived in places
where it snows in Spring
and thought it best
to keep walking

and flicker a glance
through the neighbor’s window
at the flowers inside
perilously waiting for snow

must i have those freaky eyes
to be famous with you
-do i even want to?
