READIN

Jeremy's journal

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.

— Sir Francis Bacon

🦋 Fish

What a fantastic prompt this is, from Breytenbach's Intimate Stranger: "Poetry is fishing for memories in time." Reckon I'll go drop a line in the murky waters...

Dark flashes of memory flicker
beneath the slow murky waters of time's river.
I peer uncertain into the black
to where my line sits slack
untouched:
bait squirms still on the hook
that I reel in and cast again.
