Dad is driving Hannah and I. He swerves in order to run down a big dog. We hear a thump and see its broken body. He keeps driving, while we are screaming at him, "I hate you."
The phrase "cuttlebone query" leapt out at me from a stream of email spam babble and rattled around my head for a few years. I remember the curved white cuttlebones washed up on the beaches of my childhood summers. They suit me as metaphor for dream remnants - tiny compared to the ocean they come from; gouged and marked; hard and soft; light; gleaming wet then rasping dry.
