(in)visible t(w)o eyes

two slits

missing lids

insist on being

my eyes—

i’m not

squinting

and my eyes

aren’t closed—

the kids

insist that

dental floss

can blind me—

why am i a What

instead of a who—

The Korean…

is not me—

that What—she—

died when

i was born—

yet eyes still

insist she

is as is—

not.
