Rubbing my eyes, using the knuckles of my hands, my vision
exploded into purple irises blossoming between grains of sand. The moon, as we
know, is full of this knowledge as it swings overhead. It fills my eyes with
vision and laughs down on me, as in another new profession I stumble within. It’s
seen it before, the moon overhead, full and boasting—and again it will no doubt
occur. My mind hears the laughter often as the vibrations descend down, with
smiles all around. This is my very own megilah, heard as of late, causing some
angst but mostly most profound. The purple irises were meant for an oil
painting that I’m currently making, but instead or at least inclusive of, the
irises spilled out here if only to shed.This place that I consider home is both small and once
large, contained within a space no greater than a skull, but singing out praise
vibrating room in which to tell. The telling goes like this: Upon a time once
mentioned, the story unfolds in a pristine dimension. In the cradle of love
expansion occurs, new professions keep moving forward and to each comes a wake;
a moment of love of excitement that careens full force into a wall. And the
pattern begins—born, lived, then died, then born again. In each cycle stems
another, growth set in patterns and continuing to know. That’s why the irises
spilled out now, no doubt a cycle of love caressing the sores developed from a
new profession.
Last week I had had enough. I finished testing the
sprouts growing down low, but other invigilators began to hit the same wall. We
sparred briefly before all was deleted and we moved back to our corners, where
neither was seen, or for that matter until now heard from again. All that I
could come up with at the time and still now, is that this is the edge of the
cycle as each tends to grow, circles in a pond, irises in my head, and all that
it tells me has already gone. I can hear it grating at the edge of my mind
still, my skull is vibrating with the patterns all around. I rub my eyes to try
and see it again, but the edge only lets me hear—bur, a pseudo-palindrome confusing my
mind once again.
Purim sameakh!
