The Glenelg Effect

by Jacqueline Dain

The dreams I had in Glenelg were so realistic
because my consciousness was like a dream.

The vapour clouded my view and the tide
rising above my head froze me in time.

Time - a frivolity in the bells of Tom's mind,
which chimed like the raspberry sweetness of 1949.
The year he and new bride returned from war
to find a country that betrayed him.

In betrayal he found clarity of mind and Glenelg.
He embraced the Westerly wind with wide open arms and
willingly subjugated himself to the Glenelg Effect -
a concoction of dream and timelessness.

Leaving Glenelg is like waking up with the nausea of elusiveness.
The pain of coming to comprehend that this place does not exist
as I exist.
