Mysteries

At night, I do not know who I am when I dream, when I am sleeping.

Awakened, I hold my breath and listen: a thumbnail scratches the other side of the wall.

At midday, I enter a sunlit room to observe the lamplight on for no reason.

I should know by now that few octaves can be heard, that a vision dies from being too long stared at;

that the whole of recorded history even is but a little gossip in a great silence;

that a magnesium flash cannot illumine, for one single moment, the invisible.

I do not complain. I start with the visible and am startled by the visible.

Dannie Abse, from New Selected Poems
