    July 27, 2015

    The eyes are the first thing

    Big golden things

    Adapted for their environment

    But those wide mouths

    Always opening to such wide darkness

    Cute though

    How they come up to the glass as I draw near

    Striking at their food

    But the cloudy air they mu...

    I found Rueben's brother on the black wall;
