I am an eyelash in the wind
by Jay S Zimmerman
I
am an eyelash in the wind
Brushed
from your face
Teardrops
in silence
Homeless
and yearning
Brushed
from your face
Crying
in an empty heart
Homeless
and yearning
Longing
for loving
Crying
in an empty heart
Teardrops
in silence
lover’s
lonesome wishes
I
am an eyelash in the wind
Bio: Jay S.
Zimmerman came to poetry from his life as a visual artist, composing poems to
go with his art, finding as much joy in painting with words as with other
visual tools. He has recently been published in Three Line Poetry, I am not a
silent poet, and Flying Island. He was born in the concrete caverns of New
York, amid the trolley bells and sounds of subways, travelled south to Miami
Beach and thrived in the warm sands and salt air dancing to the musical rhythms
of klesmer, cha cha and bossa nova, finally venturing to the dark soil, flat
farmlands and rolling hills of the Midwest where his roots have grown and been
nourished for over 40 years. He is an artist, photographer, psychologist,
social justice advocate.
