Cat's Eye

a description of the pain one feels at having their perceptions shifted by a lover's deceptive words.

You buried my eyes in the sand beneath the reeds
Without thinking how the grit of sand abrades the surface 
                   Of my eyes 
Scratches my perception
Scratches with a cats paw against gentle glass.
You leave the shore of my forehead wrinkled in the sand, 
stretched out before the lapping gentle waves
            That are your excuse.

~ oh... absolutely exquisite imagery... and what a tone... it would scare me if i was at the receiving end of these words... you are a master at your craft... your closing lines are particularly stunning...
