what did oedipus see
after he pinned his eyes
in place in his skull
all
he banished himself
not because he was unfit to be king
not because he had brought a curse upon thebes
but now he could see light in every corner
under every stool
he could not bear the illumination
he was tempted to pull those pins free
but stayed his hand
if his eyes ever moved again
rolling in his sockets
their sudden freedom
would have blanketed him in darkness
and his sleep would have been peaceful
and his voice silent
