Saw Her in Half?

dreamed 2008/8/28 by Wayan

My friend Chub's a novice sorceress. Not
show-magic, but true miracles, taught
by a thoughtful healing-woman who
tomorrow plans to saw a girl in two--
a fine old stage tradition... but for real!
A sterile saw, and pads to mop the gore.
The girl to be sawn is a blonde little waif,
always in Alice-in-Wonderland frills.
She's been chronically tired and ill,
anemic, angelic, vampire-pale.
But what a cure! "Not in HALF!" I roar.
Chub insists "divided quite."
"I know your teacher--a fine sorceror,
but cutting the spinal cord's final!"
Squabble till Chub admits "I'm unsure
she said "hack the spine". Maybe she'll
just gut her side to side and cunt to chin."
Still sounds to me like sin.
Sketch of a dream by Wayan: a small girl dressed like Alice in Wonderland uneasily looks at a large saw.

NOTES

Chub: only her nickname; she was plump and round-faced. When I woke, I knew no one called Chub or who even looked like her.
Don't mess with the spine: I've been trying to see a doctor for an intermittently sore, popping, creaky back and neck. Not terribly painful, but spinal inflammation can be deadly.
Saw in half, gutting: the dream points out why I've been slow to call. I fear Western doctors, and with good reason. They're so drastic--and don't listen!
ACTION: proceed only so far as dreams agree, reject anything dreams veto!
This is Dreamverse #15. Every day, a dream-poem. Only I haven't. The last one, Larry's Multiverse, was an epic! Took days...
