Pieces of body

All the pieces of body 

Bones, blood, skin glued

Together with minimization

And denial. The stickiest substance ever created.

They've dissolved now

A puddle leaving

My dress, earrings, and shoes lonely

On the bathroom floor.

Parking lot

I forgot my glasses

This morning.

Started driving.

noticed 

Eventually

Not any change to my vision

But a dull ache

Alerting my eyes

That they had to try harder.

A different space

Between my eyes 

And that tree.

The same tree

For a hundred years

Eyes a telescope lens

Smudged with Vaseline
