my eyes
with liquid light
and I blink
against phenylephrine
tears.

Now I can only see
what’s far away,
while everything close
is hazy with unholy haloes.

In the mirror,
pupils like amphetamine

moons that can’t see

your hand, and you reach
across time and space
to find me.

I lie in a blacked out room
and pray for enough dark
to see by.
