In A Dream, A Reminder

Dreaming about the unintelligible and the 

scary shapes my psyche gives to darkness,

makes the rational into something which it is not

and harbors imponderables for later distortions.

I have wondered, while grappling with the unformed, 

while trying to understand a world as if seen 

through rain splattered windows,

while traveling without a destination

around the next bend and over the next hill…

I have wondered if sometimes a dream 

might simply be reminding us 

to turn on the lights.
