They are on the outside and as long as I don’t train my eyes on the peripheral hubbub I’m left with a scuttling galaxy of freckles. A visual lullaby – sweet, soothing, whirling blemishes. Tonight a big henna fuzz ascended in the far quadrant of my right eye. A large blurry bug hovering to make sure I was getting sleepy, to tell me reading in such poor light was bad for my little eyes. That was nice.
