Juggler's Daughter by Anita Endrezze

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

I can keep my eye
On more than one body
At a time;
The trick is in
Not becoming attached
To what will drop you.

Swords, plates, balls, rings:
They relieve the monotony
Of juggling
Affairs.

It’s up in the air,
Love is:
If it’s not where you think
It should be,
Be quick! What comes next
May stab you in the back.

We all love a good trick
We can’t figure out.

When we’re not in love,
What we miss
Is the balancing
Between faith
And what the eyes knows
Is really there.

oh thank you. thank you.

the last stanza= yesss.
the line breaks are perfect.

question:
is it supposed to be "what the eye knows"
or "what the eyes know"?
