The image of the cross – v2



not seeing the picture
an image in the cortex
rather, the picture was
heard in her brain
the infant, the baby
not firing visually
auditory instead
the image of the cross
speaking within her brain

“The image of the cross”
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.
