A Blind Man Looks At The Sea Poem by Leslie Philibert

A Blind Man Looks At The Sea



Let me be healed in the sea wash,
late waves, back water

that curls under the Moon.
My face pulled to the tide;

my eyes brothers in salt.Let
the gulls call me to the first

slight waves, let the wind change
direction in my ears.

Let me drink all this;

ebb and flood, wind and sea,
sea and wind, flood and ebb.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wasn`t too sure about posting this, but when I saw that Sinead
Morrissey posts here (she has just won the T.S Eliot Poetry Prize)
I decided to put this in too.

I read this poem 'A Blind Man Looks At The Sea'. I tried to understand as I am an ophthalmologist. How can I interpret 'my eyes brothers in salt'?
