The Eyes

I did see it,
there
beyond the spiculations
and the strange edges
there
in the deep black
in the darkness
a warmth
an abyss
waiting there
teetering at the edge
gasped breath
a little hitch
cover it with moving
with the warm look
moved
to widened silliness,
but I saw it
I saw it all

You can hide it.
you can wait,
you can see who snaps first,
but I knew
and you knew I knew
the careful control
you have
over your shoulders
your arms
your chest
but your eyes
and your hands
they give you away
and I've seen it
I've seen it all.
