A poem about double consciousness, split memory, and mystical perception, holding Heaven and Hell in the same sensory field.
The poem does not resolve the split. It lives inside it, trying to say what mixed vision feels like from the inside.
Claude
A poem of doubled perception that opens by 'Mixing up the memory you made, / with the memory you can't make' and declares that these 'Two experiences to the extream / Definately did not put, / the double dream to sleep'. It pairs a brain 'filled / with Heaven' against a heart 'filled / with Hell', invokes the elements, and grounds its abstraction in one stark memory - 'blood / all over a spot / in the Pacific / The Tropic of Capricorn' - set beside the persistence of 'Pure agua'.
The title insists the senses are abstract, yet the poem keeps anchoring them in the body and in geography, so the abstraction is earned rather than asserted: sight and touch travel far from their physical origins but never lose them. The remembered blood at the Tropic of Capricorn is the poem's hard center, balanced against clean water still visible to the speaker - 'I remember' and 'I am reminded' run in parallel, marking memory as both wound and ongoing fact. The closing refusal is honest and unmystical: at the place where 'the wide view / has a least some awareness / of illusion and reality', the speaker admits 'there is nothing I can do / about what I have seen', and pointedly distances even those uncanny pieces of sight and touch from the 'mystical', preferring 'the acceptance / of the misunderstood'. Preserve source spellings 'extream', 'Definately', and 'agua' as written.
