blind

by Eric Thayer - Not entered

blind

blinds hold the afternoon sun
that still somehow seeps through
cracks on the off-white surface

of the sky that holds the stars blind
beneath the empty black
void above
city's orange burning skin

blinds against the night
and soul that hides blinds
against the day

the dawn fights through
the sun blinds
heat against the glass
against the windshield

the blinds hold back the sun
barely
it still finds 
its way through

the blinding light
truth against the blinding lies
holding out the light and heat

blinding me...
