There are mites on our eyelashes
tiny
microscopic
beings
with communities
and ecosystems
How do we walk around not knowing this fact?
How can we be so self absorbed that we fail to recognize
a world so close but out of reach?
these creatures are usually helpful
Feeding on our unwanted dead skin
but if their population grows too large
They are an annoyance
but how do you treat this without feeling grief for
the organisms with whom you share so many experiences?
Is your health worth their lives?
