Shane Manieri: Let the Flood Gates Open

March 30, 2013 by PBQ

Look into the eyes
of him,
           the eyes
of every man—face, skin, jars of clay—
pristine, perfect, the moon
           (mirrors of itself): day glow,
an Indian sunset. The light
sucks into him.
Sparkling dew of the brow,
                      Revealing, he says.
Gushing
a rain cloud that can no longer hold itself
of love.
           Stealing into autumn,
protruding into the night.
