Today I woke up blind

thus, I kept my eyes shut.

My peripheral vision

temporarily unavailable.

My sieving eye-lashes

indisputably impaired.

The birds are singing

of a repulsive shiny day.

It has been raining for weeks

although it’s almost summer.

I know that I could count

on my remaining senses

or I could easily ask for help

from a fluorescent existence.

But today I’m too busy

drowning in eyelessness

and my hands are too cold

to guide you in the darkness.
