Perfect vision

Vision
She has perfect vision
but still averts her gaze
from the mild strangers
of the street
because nobody had reminded her
of the sanctity of her triumphs
she couldn't show her eyes
in case they saw her self-abandonment
she forgot her triumphs
not because they were long ago
not because they were too small
to be allocated cachet
but because these triumphs
all occurred
before I loved her
there is no triumph
before a poet's adoration
