   Returned from the hospital. The surgery of the second eye went well. Both cataracts have been removed and I can see with both eyes at the same acuity. Even though the world now appears in a harsh bluish light, it's the first time in more than 50 yeras that I can see her without glasses. Strange. And pretty lovely. (I won't get into the astounding unprofessionality of the eye clinic's staff. The surgeon did a good job but administration and care have awful.)

     @simsa03 I'm glad you survived their care. Harsh blue light beside, willkommen zum neuen blickpunkt. If I got that right. Blickpunkt was the name of one of my German textbooks in high school. The word has been stuck in my mind for forty years.

     Harsh blue light,
     you see with new eyes.
     Her beauty is cutting,
     don't bleed.
     Don't weep
     unless you like the seep
     of water color.

     As a tanka:

     Harsh blue light, you see
     with new eyes. Her beauty is
     cutting, don't bleed.
     Don't weep unless you desire
     the seep of watercolor.
