Eyes Spy
©August 19th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
A curtain comes down.
Windows to the soul, well, yes –
I see closed windows.
And what will it take
To throw wide those blind shutters?
A drowned child’s closed eyes?
J’accuse say these eyes:
A child in an ambulance
Looking out at us.
Somewhere, their eyes close.
Choosing not to see, helpless,
We open ours, weep.
