This Foggy Spyglass

This foggy spyglass-
restrictive and cataract'ed of age,
small, large-impersonal, personal-
always from a vantage-
close,
but never near-
Over there, but never here.
Lips move and words issue-
strange bumbling jumbo
to my unattenuated attention.
How heavy after so many years,
lugging this brass & glass tube in my mind-
ever at the ready to move to the long view.
Velvet brass eyepiece,
steady of decades, laid at last to rest-
indeed,
loneliness is heavier
but the past
has kept me so removed... LO!
My focus
is cloudy still,
cataract'ed yet,
kill so, my eye has been lent
to long gleanings from a perspective no
longer sought-
now paid for, seen and bought.

Flows like a dance…my favorite line is "My eye has been lent to long gleanings from a perspective no longer sought-"
We don't always see what we wish to see..but our life comes back to us at the most unexpected moments. "Now paid for, seen and bought".
Thank you for a peek through your "foggy spyglass- " you have quite a view!
