One Look (+1) Poem, by Kurt Philip Behm, at My poetic side

Without a shake

of the head

or turned up nose

The truest form

of rejection

—the eyes

(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)

The Whole Is Greater

I liked Democrats

when they acted like Republicans

(and)

I liked Republicans

when they socialized with Democrats

I liked women

when they reveled in their difference

(and)

I liked men

—when they didn’t act at all

(The New Room: August, 2022)

The old saying is true, "The eyes are the window of the soul". Well said dear poet.
