My Little Oysters

By Tony Brown

I call your eyes
‘my little oysters’
as if they were each

a world
I could own

I know better

I can own nothing
of you

but it helps me
to pretend

that your eyes
contain everything I need

and that I could
take them in

in one swift swallow

and that then
you would see
what is inside me

insane, insane

I tell myself

but still
I am
so hungry
