Kislev; month of dreams
Joseph the bridge person —
between patriarchs and tribes,
the harvester
the one who harvests events
for meaning.
He has become more
humble
I don’t interpret dreams —
God does, he says.
Still, his gift gives him power
even if it is only the power of memory —
I remember dreams,
he says, [42:9]
[that he dreams at all
means he’s sleeping well]
the rest of us are fidgeting in bed
Joseph; part prophet
Dreaming; 1/60th of prophecy anyway,
with the need for prophecy these days,
1/60th is nothing to sneeze at.
