LIFE OF A STAR POEM 1
RESOURCES
Science of Senses
Make believe
you cannot see
or smell
or hear
her giggle
Close your eyes
look inside
still your senses
dribble
Vibrating
electric waves
shifting
through the brain
most
expensive,
expansive organ
sniffs and
hears and complains
Open your eyes
Abran los ojos
What do you see?
Que ves?
Birds chirp
the city hums
Do you hear it?
Can you smell her?
The sun
the sun
the sun
The sun explodes
and floods us
with its escaping energy
Light bounces in
every direction
from every point
in view
The room is filled with spreading light
My eye lens focuses
the light to a tiny theater at the
back of my eyeball
The brain is plugged into all these organs- skin, eyes, ears,
tongue, nose
Hello world. Can you see me? I can see you.
The gift of life is on our doorstep.
