My eye

started twitching

the day my father died.

It's been 9 months now, 

twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, 

twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch, twitch.

To whom -- to which -- shall I apply

my eye? Now that he's gone

down deep inside?

To whom? What? Who? Where?

There, just there, deeper,

beyond despair.
