After Jessica's "Winter Sun"

Winter Sun

The sun
Hidden behind a cloud.
You can look straight into it, a blank
White eye.

After Jessica's "Winter Sun"

I told myself to look at the obvious:
          the lines on my palms,
          the palms holding possibilities,
          the fingers grasping keys,
and those keys unlocking the
prison walls I thought
could somehow save my
little soul.

And so I'm
looking
looking
looking
with my blind eyes closed.
