Truckstop Eyes
Those eyes
of a girl
On The Road
calling home
from a truck stop
in rural
Missouri.
She turned
and faced me,
smiling,
those eyes
seeing
the vastness
of the world
for the very
first time.
Those eyes
beaming with
what
I thought
was true love
or gratitude
or innocence
those eyes
those eyes
those eyes
that saw
when I was blind.
