This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oxford Emory chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

1: Electrical impulses

Retina laced traced

down the back

light focused from backstage

 

2: The clear dome

Conjunctiva covers

Creates caps coats

lines the lids

 

3: Symbolic sensory organs

galaxies of color

systems of sight

 

4: The irises succumb

Upside down is truth

Right-side up is the lie you believe

 

5: Dark like the last night

warmth, elegance, healing

Rich depth of woods

Only lit by the ring of light

Woodpeckers peck

Truth told.

 

6: Boron and nitrogen

Depth, stability, heaven

Like music from the deep south

I see fish and sharks

And I feel safe

Even when i am not

 

7: Everything you choose to believe.

Fertility, renewal, ambition, jealousy

Emerald stone

Like Sunny’s little dress

Moss growing beneath the edges of trees

 

8: Headlights flash

I pull into the driveway

Home is what I see.

Oxford Emory

My name is Jackie Doctor, and I'm a sophomore at the Oxford College of Emory University. I'm an Anthropology and Biology major on a pre-med track. I'm interested in pursuing a profession in Allied Health. I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones, Parks and Rec, and Bob's Burgers, and I read, write, and play the ukelele in my spare time.
