The Nightmare Eater, by H Chaki, 2006


The Nightmare Eater

There is an animal that lives off the nightmare
How does he chew it?
How does he swallow it?
How does he digest it?
What does he assimilate?
And what does he evacuate?

The nightmare which is eaten by the animal
comes out as tenderness
He doesn’t purify the badness
but transforms it
(Translated : Ms H Chaki, 2006)
