I’ve heard of lopsided smiles,
of mismatched feet,
of slanted shoulders.
But you have eyes that don't align,
and something about this crookedness is
simply breathtaking.
A so-called tragic flaw is more
beautiful than alien,
and although you may not have
the depth perception to know what
I’m feeling,
you see me, you see through me,
and with crooked eyes
you can hold my falling
gaze.
