how in reacting
to
the one depicted

as
what do the sightless
see
to ask

and might be told
of certain
shapes
and hints of light

maybe what is seen when
the
typical
close eyes

then ask what else
what more
if
one or more
should please to say

of what is visioned by the mind
what
and how of thought as
well as how one feels

and is there more of more
with what might be confessed
of what is heard
in
closer hearing

if then
closeness to transcendence
or
as human as any
what is
seen
unseen seen
of any

to learn from as from
any
sense-challenged
about need
as well as what
to gift
of all
