Epileptic

Mary Morris

Within the body—
a ghost

Ground    unfastened
Contradicted space

As if falling from a horse
in constant defeat

Day to dark
motion slowed

Nightmare stoked
with trees on fire

Scent of ember    spark
and brain shimmer

Morning body
of all-night snow

The world dusted white
The floor   hard   cold
