Photography and Poem By Jacob Kopaska

Lead me, glassy-eyed, 
no further from the divine.

As the inverse of color blindness,
the owl's eyes reveal shades 
long interred in blue

A journey laid before me,
no miles marked -
Crimson still in view.

I asked for a simple change.

Instead, I am transmogrified
in ninety-nine million ways.
