Negotiating Visions

Beautiful washed-out blue eyes
But then there’s the fact
That he’s a mirage

Of something, (but)

I’m not sure what.
Beautiful washed-out blue eyes
Pools in the desert

Of vapour,

I’m mostly sure.
Beautiful washed-out blue eyes
Like alcohol at night

Intoxicating, yet

I know
Beautiful washed-out blue eyes
A trick of the light.
