This month's crop of dreamku seems to have a split personality. The mood changes from rather positive to increasingly negative after the very middle of the month. I’m tempted to say that’s a result of my moon phase hyper-sensitivity. Gibbous moons – the phase just before full – always agitate me unpleasantly in some way. Sometimes effecting me as much as a week to ten days before the actual gibbous moon appears. A full (Blue) moon phase is just now passing and so hopefully will my negativity. Though honestly there’s a lot else stirring up the gunk and mud in my emotional life than just moon phases. But maybe without the added influence of a gibbous moon I’ll be better able to make some very needed changes.
I am surprised there aren’t many more apartment or house images in this month’s dreamku. I’ve been focused on re-arranging my apartment now that my roommate has moved out, and thoroughly enjoying it. Though I hasten to admit I don’t enjoy all the body aches and pains. :-) I’ve been (and still am) doing more lifting and cleaning and packing away and throwing out than I’ve done in the 22 years I’ve been here. Maybe some of the emotional upset in the second half of this month's dreamku is also about re-arranging and clearing out on an inner level. I certainly hope so!

[Note: Numbers have extremely strong Tarot relationships for me after over 30 years studying the Tarot. Before I was even really awake, right out of this dream I thought "Ah! I'm yearning for magic (I, The Magician); mothering (III, The Empress); and muscle (XI, Strength). This thought also illustrates an aspect of this poet's mind, and probably others': auto-alliteration. :-D]

a man next to me
face down in the water

May 31, 2007
the long cardboard tubes
radiate danger
I ignore them
