Empty eyes

Crazy fluctuates over me

Bio-rythms sent to criss cross

driving me crazy with negative thought



Driven to despair

wringing water worn hands

from wiping away invisible tears



The answer lies within

empty eyes of the dead fox

An end to a life



More real than this

The maggots anticipate

And wait for us  still

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Found a dead fox in the garage,the maggots had eaten away at the eyes and everything.
The face was untouched.
So sad............

Hey, Girl! I saw the author comment and could not help but feel the shock and then the way it plays into life's emotions, running rampant at the moment.

You know me, always looking deeply! Can't help but see a hidden fear, perhaps one made all too real by some revelation concerning number One.
I don't know why, but I end up going to the blind beauty aspect, and the finality of it.

You are writing with such skillful use of metaphor lately, that tangents abound. Tim
