#10. Vision

10 Vision

It happens every time I see you
My eyes water
My eyes water like sunscreen has just slid down my forehead and bleached into them and I decided to dive into the pool anyway
Like when I get into the pool my answer is to open them underwater and allow the chlorine to scrape my cornea with its grainy goodness
Like this pool is a torture cupcake and the icing is made of jellyfish that slap my pupils with their slimy tentacles and pull blood from my optic nerve that contains all of my secret visions
That blood that holds things only I’ve seen
Myself naked after a run
My mother crying because she isn’t perfect
My father failing
My brother breaking

I just thought you should know
It happens every time I see you
