they asked her to explain
to conceptualize
they demanded sentences
subjects verbs actions adjectives
paragraphs in logical order
a beginning and an end
a common thread
and most importantly,
a final moral
but she couldn't speak in form
or structure
all she saw were images like a film in her head
smells, as if carried from a spontaneous breeze
she felt skin that was not clearly separated from hers
the experience was not in her brain
but somewhere else
perhaps in the molecules bouncing around her
perhaps in the tiny space between her chest cavity
and her heart
or in a chakra in the middle of her stomach
wherever it was
their time together was impregnable by linear thought
