There are just a few remaining days in our 28 Days of Unreason. Songs of Unreason has provided us with a number of quotes about water; this one triggered a response directed at our author, hence my title for today, Dear Jim. Here is the line from Harrsion for today and my poem.
“The river can’t heal everything” ~ Jim Harrison
Dear Jim,
For seven eternities we have been water, moving water, searching for healing from these unclaimed sins and now you tell us.
I look to the towering Norfolk Pine
but she, too, is silent
and incapable.

Thanks! There is something theraputic in writing a poem in the form of a letter.

OK, that’s amazing. And we were both hovering over water, redemption and healing, lol! I like that you take on Jim directly. I feel like that a lot. The ending was beautiful and just hints at its truth.

Thank you! After all that water and then this quote, I just wanted to tell him to F off! lol. As to the redemption theme, did you read the completion of Jeren’s poem yesterday?

Not so inventive as your poem, Jilly—a perspective that would never have occurred to me. Brava!

What occured to me was that all month he has been saying we are water and then this audacious statement! I wanted to grab him by the collar and say, ‘What the hell?!’

He’s a poet, not a psychoanalyst 🙂
