Another Pair of Eyes

They are not afraid

would not succumb  

not so easily preyed

I will protect you



I wish I had another pair of eyes

see me through

It’ll understand

like no-one will do



standing still in the sun

folded arms guarding

precocious little

precariously watching



they are never afraid

not even succumbing

so easily led

fiercely protected



how we prayed

for another pair of eyes

just in time

mine



it will be me

some exotic part of you

curiously looking

bellowing uncontrollably
