When the Amygdala gets the upper hand – v2

I feel myself turning,
changing in an instant,
fear, anxiety rising,
ready to overflow…
 
A life in words, in work,
now manual labor, sweating,
not knowing if this is my place,
where I should be standing…
 
I sense the rise of panic,
unsure of my next steps,
anxious moments evident,
in the sweat on my forehead…

Changing in an instant,

Ready to overflow…

Now manual labor,
Not knowing if this is my place,

Unsure of my next steps,
Anxious moments evident,
In the sweat on my brow…

Amygdala hijack – v4

His words incoherent, gibberish,
her face beet red, sweating,
decibels rising, quickly,
shouting, unrelenting panic,
a baby’s tiny, clenched fists…
 
Amygdala hijack, chaos,
in full flower, erupting,
no chance at compromise,
no possibility for agreement,
for another two hours, at least…

Snake Brains on the Courthouse Steps – v3

Ancient response, predictive,
learned behavior, automatic,
more instinctive, without thinking…
 
Fear, panic, amygdala hijack,
reason dissolving, anxious, impatient,
wanting to run, to flee in terror…
 
Seeking compromise, a solution,
reason, decision, impossible, devolving,
to the primitive, in the grip of the snake…

By the pull of the moon changing

The wild within revealed,
by the pull of moon changing,
yearning to breathe, to regain control,
of our passions, of our bodies,
the wildness in our nature.
 
A quickening in an instant, a curse,
A transformation, howling,
chaos present, overwhelming
lost for a time, wildness, running,
when the full moon takes control.

email May 115, 2008

“I am in eighth grade and I am doing a school

research project called a zine.  In this zine,

it is basically about describing your passion. 

One of the requirements for the zine is putting
a poem in, and explaining your reaction to the poem. 

My passion is Cape Cod, and I chose the poem you wrote, 

Beach Sand,  I love how you described sand in this poem. 

I just had a few questions like,

why did you choose to write this poem?

My response May 16, 2008::

“Funny you should ask. Someone from North Carolina

two days ago asked if they could put this same poem

on a new web site. As I told them, I had written in in 2006,

on the same day as quite a few other poems. I was writing

then specifically about treasured memories of my childhood

and more recent too. I wrote this poem about my joy at the beach.

I am from Westfield, MA growing up and my family would go to

the Cape or up the Maine coast to like Wells Beach or York

many summers when I was a kid. My grandparents on my dad's

side had gone to Old Orchard Beach for summers when my dad

was a kid and they were there on Cape Cod when I was a kid.

In 1988 I went to Hilton Head Island for a week. And in the

mid-1990's I went for like 3 or 4 summers in a row to

Martha's Vineyard. From 1978 to 2001, I lived near

the University of New Hampshire near the seacoast of

New Hampshire. I spent time at Rye Beach, Hampton,

and Great Island Common in New Castle. I just really like

walking the beach, more than just laying sunbathing.

I would walk along the shore looking for beach glass

or go over to the rocks and look for what I could find

in the tide pools. I've included three other poems about

being near the sea, Shoals, Tide Pools, and Tides - Haiku.”
