Alien Eyes
by Kenneth Vincent Walker
The alien eye what
Does it see? It sees
Colors refracted in
Light no human can
See. For there are
Colors beyond our
Spectrum we are
Blind to in daylight
And during nightfall
They see in thermal
Images of varying
Degrees of heat
Regardless of light.
So, the alien skin is
A color impossible
To see by mankind
Unless they change
Color, which they can;
They walk among us
Unnoticed, stealthily
As we remain blind.
