Only The Eye Poem by Marc Radzyner

only the eye
can see light
only the eye
membrane exquise
exists because
there is light

all night I lie
couched between black roots
night mind seeps through earth layers−
river boulders, white maiden gums
sutured to blackness
disengage from night's unity,

near my eye what is
jewelled
inticate
seeks to be visible,

atombeads
on spider threads
spark-

only the eye
can see light,
only the eye can know
what light is
