clear and present

Yesterday, I saw

The flame-colored fleck

Perfectly off center

Amid a hundred shades of blue

And you didn’t blink

And you didn’t look away

And that’s how I knew

For sure

That whatever it was

You had just said

Was true

And important

And entrusted just to me

It’s probably best

For both of us

That I was so distracted

By your eyes

That I have no idea

What you said.
