Epilepsy Is Dancing

Epilepsy is dancing

She’s the Christ now departing

And I’m finding my rhythm

As I twist in the snow

All the metal burned in me

Down the brain of my river

That fire was searching

For a waterway home

I cry “glitter is love!”

My eyes pinned inside

With green jewels

Hanging like Christmas stars

From a golden vein

As I came to a screaming

Hold me while I’m dreaming

For my fingers are curling

And I cannot breathe

Then I cried in the kitchen

How I’d seen your ghost witching

As a soldering blue line

Between my eyes

I cry “glitter is love!”

My eyes

Pinned inside

Sea green jewels

Hanging like Christmas stars

From a golden vein

Cut me in quadrants

Leave me in the corner

Oh now it’s passing

Oh now I’m dancing
