Heard Degree Poem

By

If I can’t, so be it…

Should I lose my vision?

And not being able to look back,

It’s just movement until touching…

And so, upon a hot surface, I scream,

Panic…while holding burnt fingertips and,

Shouting, “…help, please, I need ice.”

How would I write without fingers to type?

It won’t really matter without vision to try.

But there, I hear, to speak and to feel…

To listen for tones and sense this new poem.
