frustrating artist

You know what would be a great, gross  
almost gory gloriously visceral
visual image?

An eye 

- naked and without a body,
let alone a face or a head. 
The ball of an eye, suspended 
against some background (which 
doesn't really matter, but 
had better be perfect) (could
totally ride herd on what people 
perceive the theme to be, you 
know)

Just a big eye. Glisteningly 
depicted, regarding the viewer 
- who's beholding who here, 
beautiful? - and 

here's the coup de gross 

Where the eyelids should be 
framing its truly gorgeous 
iris, there would be two
perfect curved rows 
of eyelashes 

growing directly out of the eye
