Eyeless Man

A shadow came to me in the night,

And brought with him my fear of light

A breeze and a gust of wind he stepped

Over the doorway,

And into my way.

Eyeless man,

Mouth-less and silent I could not stand;

I killed this shadow this night

for a heart a knife plunged in his heartless days,

Was better than to share in his human gaze.
