Simon Odhiambo - Case clossed

At least I understand
Curtains are drawn open and closed
Books are read open and closed
To be drawn again
To be read again

But these eyes...

I also know very much
Doors are closed and opened
Cases are closed and opened
To be entered again
To be heard again

But these eyes...

These eyes that read the books
The eyes that look through doors
These great eyes that draw curtains

Once closed in death may only open
When the case is to be heard

Simon Odhiambo
