NIGHT HUNGERS (photomorph) & IT CANNOT BE KNOWN (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

IT CANNOT BE KNOWN

it cannot be known if any moment
is flying apart or coming together
or even just replete with small oddly
shaped islands afloat in mystery

unless it's framed in other moments:
on one side, by what's agreed to have happened
on the other, by what's thought will come about

these hanging islands scintillating
in the endless space of the eternal moment
can then be boxed and labeled at last
by the twin unrealities of memory and belief

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.
