In Her Eye

I have written about how beautiful, and how elusive Kimani’s eyes are. In the comments, llbarkat wished to see. If only capturing her eyes was as simple as a wish.

I’d settle for getting a close-up shot of just one of them.



Yesterday afternoon, I caught her sitting on the kitchen table, basking in sunlight, munching on dirt from my cactus planter. She was peacefully staring down at the table. I ran for the camera. When I looked through the shots I had taken, I saw the one above. At one hundred percent, I could see the reflection of the table in her eye, and looking closer I thought I saw a miniature her sitting on that table.
