Tattoo By Wallace Stevens

Tattoo

The light is like a spider.
It crawls over the water.
It crawls over the edges of the snow.
It crawls under your eyelids
And spreads its webs there--
Its two webs.

The webs of your eyes
Are fastened
To the flesh and bones of you
As to rafters or grass.

There are filaments of your eyes
On the surface of the water
And in the edges of the snow.

Pg: 64 (The Bible)
                                                                                               



The idea of perception and inspection in its elementary beginnings of infancy. seeing how the world is, before knowing what the world is. Looking at the earth through a clueless magnify glass, scrutinizing every detail to the fullest focusing only on sight to gain understanding.
