an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Klaus ten Eicken

Snow blinded
You have these eyes, anay
these blue eyes
light blue
a blue that reminds me
of the thousands of years of purity of the ice in the broken hearts
of the glaciers in Alaska

You have looked me
in the eye

I was caught off-guard
Sunglasses in my inner pocket
Glacier burns.
Snow blinded

I am in absolute darkness now.
and have gained back my ability to
see things
and I smile

never again
after this ultimate glimpse of perfection
will I have to look at a substandard woman again and have to call what I see
beautiful

neither out of love
nor pity.

I now consider myself one
of the precious few
who have made
it

And your coldness
will keep me warm
