smudge
i made sure to clean my glasses before writing you today
can’t be squinting through yesterday’s blindspots
just soap and clear water
no fancy products needed
just open eyes and willingness to see
willingness to wash
willingness
willing
pen meets paper

Relating the end to the title makes me think there is a lot beneath the surface here. Intriguing.
yes, lots in there…. 🙂 thank you for reading/ commenting!
When keeping it simple makes good magic. Love it.
Thank you so much 🙂
Love the simplicity of this message and wish it could be as straightforward as sending boxes of lens wipes to Washington.
If only!!!! we need a lot more than lens wipes there…. more like eye transplants, lol
I love when poems use simple words but manage to convey so much! I read this multiple times but especially liked the line “can’t be squinting through yesterday’s blindspots.” The ending wonderful too. Wonderfully done.
Thank you 💛

how simple daily actions
can have such import
in our lives
Thanks!
I like how the line “can’t be squinting through yesterday’s blind spots” makes the reader mindful to the need to let go of past biases and preconceptions in order to truly see and understand the present.
Thank you 💛
