Hearing Purple

a tableau alive

overwhelming senses

triggering my brain

awash in the morning

hearing purple

synapses firing

the auditory cortex

reverberating in praise

joy in the sunrise

the warming of morning

awash with colors

rich to my taste

not seeing really

far too limiting

tasting the dawn

hearing the purple

“Tasting the morning”

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2013/01/tasting-morning.html

series of poems based on

segment on how babies,

when they are wearing a brain cap,

to do EEG measurements, don’t always

have the visual cortex light up

when they see something but sometimes

have the auditory cortex light up,

as if they are hearing the image, the colors.

at about 6:15 minutes to about 8:45  minutes
