iron fist in a velvet glove

alkaline salts
applied to the eye
necessitate
a prolonged period of
emergency-room
irrigation with
saline solution.

slight
permanent damage to
my vision and
some mild corneal scarring,
but nothing serious.

the days are now getting
longer for all of us
southern folk,
which is a
relief of
sorts.

Permanent damage? Ouch, sorry to hear that.

Then again two of my favourite singers have one dodgy eye, so perhaps it'll be handy for your musical career.
