EYES


i saw your eyes in the morning when you were awake and not able to keep them closed very well.


your face looked alert and a little serious and like you had been awake for half the day.


or like you had been half-asleep all night.


you were sleepy enough to look at me a certain way and it didn't make sense the way you were looking.


i wanted to laugh because you were weird like a goat but without making you more asleep.


i touched your leg and it felt important not to make you more asleep.


i saw you wake up again and close your eyes again and i think you were a little frustrated at not knowing what to do.
