Conventional children called me “blindo”…

Cover of Planet of the Blind....man and dog....

Conventional children called me “blindo”
Of course they also threw dirt

I liked the dirt, it smelled like the hands of the moon

I pressed my face into tulips
Built a summer house

Out of shells
Saved the seeds of apples
In my blindo pockets

Angels went on flying
In twilight
Without wings
As they always do
