 Orange Sky Audio presents Eyes That Kiss In The Corners by Joanna Ho. Narrated for you by Natalie Nottis. Some people have eyes like sapphire lagoons, with lashes like lace trim on ball gowns, sweeping their cheeks as they twirl. Big eyes, long lashes. Not me. I have eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea. My eyes are just like mama's. Mama's eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea crinkle into crescent moons when she comes home from work. She scoops me in her arms, eyes sparkling like starlight, and tickles me until we laugh ourselves onto the floor. When mama tucks me in at night, her eyes tell me I'm a miracle. In those moments when she's all mine, flecks of dancing gold tell me I'm hers too. My mama is my son and sky, and her eyes are just like amaz. Mama's eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea don't work like they used to. But she sees all the way into my heart and can even read my mind. Her eyes are filled with so many stories. I can fall inside them and swim until time stops. I see guanyin with the monkey king, sitting on a lotus, serene, bobbles of leechy on trees, and mountains that reach for the sea. My mama never ages, and her eyes are just like mama's. Mama's eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea blink against the window until I come home from school. They disappear beneath her two-tooth smile when I walk in the door. She totals after me, gazing up at me like I am her best present. I hope she looks at me like that forever. Because when she looks at me in that meime way, I feel like I can fly. Mama's eyes that kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea are just like mine.
