When you get an eyelash in your eye
a wish will fall in with it
each one holds memories
stained with the makeup of your life
if the memory is tainted
with trauma, fear, or pain
the vessel that carries it will sting and stab
as if forcing you to confront and banish what your eyes have carried
but others can linger
stuck between your iris and eyelid
almost trying to stick in the back of your head
these are the memories that ache the most
the past would've, could've, should've that you regret
the longer the eyelash, the stronger the memory
so pluck them gently
as your eyes water and weep
and hold your power in the eyelash
and give memories new purpose
send your new wishes and hope
on an eyelash in the wind.
