an image diary

"And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be? ... You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream! If that there King was to wake you'd go out -- bang! -- just like a candle!"

"Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise."

"Well it's no use your talking about waking him when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real."

week eleven (the last of summer)



About eight hours from home. I owe everyone in the world an email but would like to hear your voice after not hearing your voice for nearly two weeks now. Call me today if you'd like and if I'm not lost or traffic bogged, I'll answer. Or just wait: I'm picking up the phone today. I missed you.

Fogged the windows with the shower. Fourth floor, looking out. Above the trees, on the glass, a trace of someone who stood on the a/c unit and wrote


Jesus


and drew a long tear-shaped heart beneath it. And because I took a long shower and left the curtain open, it remains for me to see.

***

One word and one image to write in the condensation on the glass. What is it?

***

I think it's not what I see.

"and what is the use of a book...without pictures or conversations?"
