April 1, 2007
THE ODD COUPLE
(three from a dream of 3/31/07)
expectations
the two ghosts move in again
rent-free
these old haunts
should pay toward their upkeep
fair is fair!
acceptance or this
draining demand for justice
the razor's edge

April 2, 2007
two large digs
he asks which mound held
this ancient artifact

LIFE LESSON
(from dreams in March & early April 2007)
lesson one
her troubled son
is now in my lap
lesson two
his friend's illness
swamps me
lesson three
we don't have to follow
along in these lines
lesson four
she wears sparkly hose
on her huge legs
lesson five
my friend casually drinks
diamond dust
lesson six
they collage the inside
of a glass vase
lesson seven
dying, living
it's all art

dozens of billboards
the dark sadness
of clowns
|
|
April 5, 2007
the henchwoman
stares her target down
killer eyes
|
April 6, 2007
black sea trenches
the pirate captain urges
reclaiming one's own

from the terrace

she sees beneath
the ceramic surface
living clay
|
|
April 12, 2007
she shares her dream
two dark images shimmer
with promise
|
April 13, 2007
future plans
she offers to show me
her new eye
|
April 14, 2007
crossing over
the long metal pole
just misses her eye
|
|
April 15, 2007
dead or stolen
tiny dots reseed
the aquarium
|
April 16, 2007
old friends traipse
heavily through the dream
last ditch effort
|
April 17, 2007
huge dark worms
crawl in through the windows
no way out
I was reminded of this childhood nightmare and the dreamku I wrote about it some time ago, when I first heard of the Virginia Tech shootings yesterday. My prayers are with all those hurt by this horrible tragedy.

her father walks her
to her new home
lost key

my forefingers stuck
in the woven puzzle tube
out is not the way

baby owls
hatch behind the couch
what to feed them
