my eyes
are surely kinder
than my mind
twin cerulean
aqueous drifters
reflective shimmers
of attentive stare
beyond their pale pounds
a heartbeat's impetus
checking happenstance
and the hounds' fury
keeping as tight grip
upon taut leashes
frenzied snarling teeth
snapping for your throat
my eyes
are surely kinder
than my mind
