Lucian Freud’s Eyes
by R James Sennett Jr/ August 16, 2026 / Poetry / Startled
© R James Sennett Jr
explode when they focus
more than deity –
taking you
in all your reality
more naked than breath –
all creases
assorted veins
fat islands scattered
across expanses of mottled skin –
life stops
as the indelible, slippery marks
talk of so many things.
R James Sennett Jr lives, works, breathes and chases his muse in Louisville, Kentucky. His poetry has appeared in numerous publications for which he is grateful.
