The agonizing plasma consciousness can be.
Stone.
Slab of stone.
Eyelids.
Memory.

yes, that’s it. (as I blink, reading your comment and drift back back back)
with each memory, things are relived once more.

I think I’d need to read the whole poem to really get this.
You have time. 🙂
A very powerful mental image comes to mind when I see the painting and read, “slab of stone.” The back of a person in imagery often represents death or the turning away. Reflections on such memories become the foundation of our future, if allowed.
wonderful insight….I saw the stone, and now I see your depiction. Powerful…thank you so much for sharing.
