He
plies
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
dreams
,
two
eclipsed
moons
that
can
’t
see
the
fingers
held
before
them
.
I
want
to
hold
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
.
