i bet you don't notice how your eyes
show what you feel inside.
that phrase you wrote about how a guy
had came up and spit out lies
turned your eyes an obsidian black.
and the line about the little girl crying
turned your eyes a soft chocolate.
you don't notice these things
you're immersed in your poetry
and even though you think
your poetry isn't worth anything
the expression in your eyes
is worth everything.
