EV's Eyes
a shimmering saline sea
sustains the orbital equilibrium
of the thoughtful eye

periodically in different hemispheres
storms can and do tend to strike

four unruly pupils ganging up against each other to fight

two eyes, forming in a saline sea
awake for a few seasons in darkness, await
the birth
