on blindness

my wrist electric
with barometric pressure
I begin my morning walk
past places I never see
while driving

beyond the pond with beavers
I never catch sight of
the storm grows
palpable
as lies
lurking behind
this sun lit sky

a danger
invisible

like when I met
the man who hurt me
that bit of warning
though his eyes
were nothing
different

I trust in what
my broken bones
already know
and turn home

evil never
shows

True and well-stated. Good job.

Nice play on things we never take notice of--until it's too late.

I feel this poem!
It was really relate-able, I feel like so many people understand this feeling, but didn't know how to verbalize it until you came along. Great write!

Dangers do lurk and it's good to be wary.
