Your Baby Picture Versus My Baby Picture

Your hair falls naturally in the autumn sphere of colors
I had a full head of jet
black hair as a baby,
yours grew darker, while mine
grew lighter

and straight. My eyes

are brown. Yours

are (murkycelestial) blue. Did you

ever wish you had my eyes the way I wished

I had yours?

Have you
woken up from a deep sleep for
no reason, wishing
for something you can’t describe, 
blurring the darklit window in those
grayday bluejay eyes of yours?
