A sudden flash occurs as it spins, urshering an inaudible chirp.
Then I could no longer discern the close-up.
Inside the sphere, a detached light canvas floats in syrup.
Eyes in distress navigate an unsettling maze.
This tearing curtain does not cascade down a face;
Instead, a reflective screen encircles a darkening gaze.
It speaks of a purblind from behind.
Eyes that flash perceive floaters have vision decline
An abrupt tear is a break in the windows to the soul.
The retina dances two-steps into a black hole.
The doctor squints, searching for a remedy for the fading glow.
Fate decides to put my eye through the fire.
