Sherry,

I like this, but I think a reorganization of the lines would charge it up some. I don't think I quite hit it with the shuffling I did below, but maybe you will.

Best,

:

Electromagnetic radiation
and the edge of your cliff
bounces off the back of the inside
of my eyeball
like elementary geometry
where outer colors leap .
Come nearer with your face
finger-counting at six feet,
a bubble of blind,
a focus of fog, mine,
Oh, lovely, selfish world,
like a Zen quote, close.

I couldn't make these two lines fit:

to a private myopic wash
of peace, and everything’s blended
