Optic - Selam Kidane Woldu

I eye the eye
To observe the world that revolves around me
I eye the eye
Does it look out?
Or does it let the world –
Outside have a glimpse of the inside?
I eye the eye
To see if my lenses are befogged
My window is dirty and –
My mark is not steady.
I eye the eye
If the view is obscured
If the sight I perceive
Is an illusion only
And my eye is belying me.
I eye the eye
To see
If – I can trust the sight that I see.

Selam Kidane Woldu (21st century) Eritrea
