Behind the Eyes

with eyelids closed, fingers gently

rub over them as if writing cursive,

and while tightly shut, I see in my

minds colored lines and shapes,

forming, vanishing, and reappearing

in different shapes and lines similar

to the explosion of fireworks on the

fourth of july...  if my fingers press

differently on my eyelids, the images

change but when a constant pressure

is maintained, there is a kaleidoscope

firing and misfiring as the arrays

appear and disappear uncontrollably,

in and out like thoughts...  but when

the images disappear they are gone

and I cannot remember what they

were as I try to sketch them out on

paper but the colored pencils that I

used are never as vivid as what I saw.
