many words hide inside the specks that spell hazel in my eyes.  

if i keep them open long enough 

(wrinkles deepen and multiply) 

i think you will coax them out, my gentle love:

you will find these words hiding inside my sight.

transcribe the text you find and teach me what you see.

     i will try to keep my them open long enough 

      for you to tell the story back to me.
