This poem treats vision as unstable, but its ending shifts the loss from sight alone toward life itself.

The page stays gentle and dislocated, with nights, skies, sainthood, and glances all pointing toward transcendence. The corrected ending matters because it turns the poem from a complaint about seeing into a deeper confusion about what kind of life remains once perception fails.

One Wind. I did not take you up on ever looking around, I did not see anything important. Sheer nights, blue skies, colors in particular. Sight disappeared so fast it did not exist at all. Strange to watch, dressed the way a saint would. The life, the sight that is, got crossed. A poem of refused looking.
