The Idea Of Vision Escapes The Eye

You may enjoy life
from afar.
You may look at things,
but not taste them.
You may caress the woman,
only with your eyes.
Eyes like time.
You can not touch
these phantoms.
Constructing a universe
within the skull...
to replace
the real.
With an image
there is no
danger,
only to go blind.
