An Ode to His Eyelashes
Your eyelashes have dripped down the gene pool
In tiny crystalline droplets,
From some centuries ancient beauty that lies in your heritage;
Until they came to rest,
Trophy-like, upon your eyelids.
Fluttering lightly against your cheek
In the morning when the sun steals in through a crack in the curtains,
As we glean one more minute
Before the day begins.
