(1) syn·es·the·sia  

 noun

1. the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body.

Self-Realization 

Allan Peterson

The instances I itemize could be

believable as life

if they could just move fast enough

On paper they stay alive

In their stillness Then in the window

appeared a figure made of leaves

a woman and wisteria

a double exposure parts merging perfectly

and when I stood I too entered into the very kiss I pictured
