tell me, please

when you look at the stars
what do you see?
do you see the stars
or what's in-between?
when you look at the grass
what do you see?
do you see the green
or what's in-between?
when you look at your house
what do you see?
do you see the bricks
or what's in-between?
when I asked you to look
did you?
when I asked you to see
did you?
when I asked what you saw
did you see the in-between?
did you see the blankness between the stars?
did you see the soil between the grass?
did you see the grey stories between the bricks?
tell me please. tell me what you see.
tell me the colour and the shapes and the texture
tell me it all
please
tell me
