The Santa Ana Literary Association will be presenting a new poem by a local poet every week this year. This week’s poem is “State of Mind” by Trevor Magaña.

State of Mind

By: Trevor Magaña

The crystallization of

the Mind is nearly complete.

All reaches of experience possible,

uploaded and preserved.

For the future—

a shiny token of what was felt,

was achieved,

forgotten by many or all.

It felt so important, to us.

It will be as it was,

suspended in its completion.

Our history and memories

expanding surely,

stable and fragile,

and all we could hope for.
