Men with eyes and cameras

Once there was a lovely man and a girl
They met everyday on the riverside
in those lonely tunnels.

Man planted an eye on the girl each day

Man’s eyes, you know
Fell like rose apples on her nipples
What a heaven!
Each eye opened at the other end of it to her
A world so cumbersome
For her little nipples, but
Eyes fell on forehead
On nose tips
On lips and necks
On fingers and navels
On the tip of her mind so sprouting

All the time they were disturbed by men with camera
Who suspected life in the lonely tunnel
Men with camera always told stories
But they never gave the girl an eye, even for fun sake
She couldn’t wander across mountains and see
The strangely bitten moon in the sky

Men with camera informed the world
That here is a girl in unwanted shape
She simply borrowed eyes from lovely man
And she is looking back at the world and cursing

In fact men with camera didn’t know her language
From the lonely tunnels

Men with camera reported:
At last the terror is over.
The girl is blind, with a lovely man’s eyes on her nipples.
