L'aura del Campo

Cow's-eye [136]

Cow's-eye

Did I say something wrong.
Did I do something wrong.
It didn't matter; I was wrong
and your anger lashed out.

You refused to speak to me,
and your punishment was cruel.
Your heart's difference froze me,
left me speechless. I couldn't move.

Now you stare through me, stone-faced,
your lack-of-innocence interrupted,
your bow cocked, me acquiescent
to be dissected by your arrow.

Note: about the title... I could've used "Bull's-eye" and still might, but I wanted something a bit more unusual. It isn't meant to be pejorative... and it concerns me that it might be taken that way, especially since we live in uber-sensitive times where everything said is suspect and giving a negative meaning. Think "big beautiful cow's eyes..."
