The Witnesses Log
IX
Some of the Visitors
have large flat eyes
like the tails of comets.
We can see them
in the corners
and the byways
of our minds,
watching us.
The Dreamers say
the Visitors with large flat eyes
are useless to us,
that they have come
to kill us.
The other Visitors
are different.
If you ask them,
they will let you hold their eyes.
If you do,
you’ll see things
you can’t describe.
Not to anyone.
