I sold my eye
for twenty pence
and thirty
dreamless nights
He paid
fifteen pence
and left,
kisses goodbye
My eye, two eyes
for ten pence each
if not now
will you pay?
He came, now
fifteen dreamless nights
to pay, I thought
five pence's peace
Two eyes, he said
half an eye each
take them back but
please,
place me in my dreams.
