“It is raining and there is a dog lying
in the gutter and the gutter is filling
with water because the sewer is clogged.
If the dog were alive he would be drowning
but as it is, the water is simply stroking
his fur.”

“And when she
woke suddenly
in the empty room
crying mother, mother,
the moon, watching
at a distance, rose
over her bed
and stayed there
until she was
asleep.”

“At the point of waking, as at no other time, it is possible to hold dreams. And even then, it is only for a few seconds: the moment when you are awake enough to realize you are still asleep. And whatever dream is with you, for that one moment, becomes tangible. You are able to touch it, stroke it, like a tame animal asleep in your lap. And you can feel the softness of his fur and the gradualness of his movements as he wakes slowly, stretching each paw out in front of him, licking the darkness from his whiskers, before he leaps away from you, taking his warmth with him, and leaving his with you.”
