Their eyes match mine and I always thought it was due to the size of
them
In proportion to theirs
Same big eyes on a big round head
But I'm starting to think they see who I am
Round like a cats communicate
With blinks
Just the same
I met a baby this weekend who had the same eyes as I did
No one made the connection (even me) but they shared the same roundness
Same colour
Same deep pools of wonder
A child so young her eyes should still be blue
They peered around the room matching each of them as they entered
"where's mumma?!"
She giggled and she banged her head off of tables
At least twice that I saw and I never once saw her cry
When her eyes finally met mine she stared,
Unsure
A familiar stranger perhaps
She wasn't shy
Just quiet
And curious
I puffed and watched her back
Amazed at how much I've forgotten
Bewildered by just how human she was
Her words reminded me
In proportion to theirs
Same big eyes on a big round head
But I'm starting to think they see who I am

He said they can't remember
And it breaks my heart
That he can't
perhaps thats why
it seems he's always searching
Suppressed memories of
The purest part of a time
The purest part of a time
Well,
I remember
And I'm sure she does too
