Ultraviolet

I’ve heard you can go blind from this 

but I decided to stare at the sun,

after…

behind my eyelids,

darkness broke

into overlays and auras ultraviolet 

quivering 

around a green corn moon,

bristles of dog hair fear rising, chasing solar filaments until the orb acquiesced 

and drifted back into darkness,

behind my eyelids,

and after all that

I didn’t even bother to go 

blind

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor. In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years. Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly. Feel free to dig through my buckets…
