Woman that Glows in the Dark

I live in the crack of an egg. 
In the space
 between galaxies and earth
mud.
 Along the thin borders
of enlightenment and darkness.
I saw through the smoky mirror,
and my third eye winked at me!
Time is an illusion,
and eternity lives
in the cracks of everything
 that is dualized.
I like living in the middle of
 either/or
 and gray is my color 
in black/white.

I’m cozy in the nucleus of past/future and
I am the ember seed in light/dark.
I am Woman that Glows in the Dark.
I’ll stay awake forever
if I have to.

-- Elena Avila, psychiatric nurse and curandera/traditional healer
