Haze Poem by James Fitzpatrick

Haze refers to how you remember distant parts of your life, and how you try to remember a dream. Some parts vividly, others you remember with difficulty. You are clear about things you enjoyed, not so clear about things you didn't.

After getting Polio and a subsequent limp when she was young Freda Kahlo (Artist) was in a Crash. She broke her Spine and Pelvis is 3 places, her right leg in 11 and her right foot was dislocated and crushed. She was forced to convalesce in bed for 6 months. She painted to remember the things she never got to do, and was greatly affected by the Mexican Revolution. She had a mirror overhead and painted herself and her inner feelings. She once stated her childhood was full of colours and dept before the accident, transparent and shallow after. This poem reflects how she was sitting dreaming on her bus ride the day before in the first two verses, and how she was the morning after the accident in the next two.
