Crone Poem #2

CHEERS

Not all flashbacks are traumatic

I was just sitting here

When it shot through me

Memory bolt with

A half-century’s force behind it

That very specific feeling

Excitement

Knowing

NOT KNOWING

I felt that

one day

on that

one page

of

A Wrinkle in Time

These are the bolts

Spread so far

and random

That hold me together

Just the same
