Origin

by Max Bouillet

I am a memory of
myself, adrift in
the dreams of my
children.

When they wake,
I vanish.

(but I never know whether
I was their dream
or nightmare.)

this has a haunting, almost creepily lovable existence to it... how true, how true the fine line between love and hate parents and their offspring often have... leaves me thinking and thinking and thinking and... brilliant... blessings...
