vacant eyes

last week

i looked at a picture that was supposed to be, i think, seductive, enticing, the type that draws you in--that makes you want. but the eyes were vacant. vacant.

in listening to another, the words they spoke...some humiliating, some acknowledging, most directed to the emotions...again the eyes were vacant. i was asked about my perception and i think i ought to have kept it simple, "the eyes did not change. the tenor of speech, the motion of body did...but the eyes did not change." and the eyes were vacant.
