the luxury of deep, dark eyes
never misspent as the world tilts in confusion,
and moments that stack in excess come tumbling
into saner arrangements; they find marked time
as dark eyes combine with a spirit of inquiry
to test the day's knotty ties
I do not know why mocha brown
is skin so forgiving of bad light, crowds
and rushed brushes of acquaintance
but there is joy in tender beauty
even in the chance of passing glances
when dark eyes find...reasons to smile
