A Realm of Sacred Joy

Luna

The only

Time I seem to

Be hazy, an evaporating ocean of

Memories has been under seizures, but now I

Even remember

Them like

A full moon over

Cornfields growing from the plains of

Colorado after a wet spring and a hot

June rising

We breathed

Together in the emergency

Room waiting for a reason that my

Mind blew away for minutes, an electrical storm

Electric haze.

It lasts

A child’s summer day

When sleep begins just as the

Moon slips behind the dark purple clouds to

See stars

I remember

Those nights in his

Lap waiting for fireworks and sparklers

Better than I remember yesterday’s seizure

It is my hypocampus firing off a blown

Processing unit.

  1. That’s an amazing poem, Vivi. How you could take those terrifying moments and weave them into art.

  2. Your art reminds me of Grateful Dead’s logo. I really like the flow and shape of your poem. It feels like wave lapping at the shore. I especially like this image:

    ”A full moon over

    Cornfields growing from the plains of

    Colorado after a wet spring and a hot

    June rising”

    And the bit about mind being blown away. I think I understand that well.
