Wider vision

Walking this morning in the park 

so dark and quiet

I felt as if my vision had widened

Perhaps due to a recent change in routine,

it seemed that something behind my eyes was reaching out

to disappear into the expanse ahead of me

My head must have been soft enough to allow some of its' insides to escape

because I had felt no distance between myself,

the cold air, and the trees.

Now, a bit later

I am wondering what had happened to my eyes during all of this,

and have come up only with this;

that they had ceased to be necessary at that moment

and had vacated the spaces that they occupied in my skull
so that something could escape.
