READIN

Jeremy's journal

Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream -- a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows -- is essentially poetry.

— Michel Leiris

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.
