ALL DAILY DREAMKU POSTED IN FEBRUARY 2008
So, here I am at my computer in my new home in California. It’s been an exhausting three weeks since getting here. But good, yes, definitely the right move at the right time. This old hermit is even enjoying meeting lots of interesting and very nice people (there are over 200 residents in this retirement community).
The dreamku covering the first ten days of February I had to post in one batch as I did not have computer access until the tenth and my record keeping was rather erratic. But after that, it was the usual one-a-day.
My only overall observation on seeing the entire month’s dreamku is that I made more comments and wrote many more dreamku series than usual. Seems my need to express is even more intense than usual. :-) Oh, and that last one: "haunted basement/the cat scrambles right back up/the wooden stairs," amused me even while dreaming it. I've been catching myself in lots of old emotional responses and absolutely refusing to indulge them. I was with that cat, all the way. Enough of haunted basements we don't even have to go in to. LOL!
ALL DAILY DREAMKU POSTED IN FEBRUARY 2008
February 1 through February 10, 2008
my new friend inquires
into the job I’m vacating
a hard position
* * * *
HOMELESS
she lets me stay
the night in her crowded house
power outage
on-going blackout
I need a change of clothes
and a new flop
walking painfully
too much like 9/11
which way is home
* * * *
INSIDE-OUT
the noise outside
backing down my fire escape
a green stretch limo
I’ve not won a prize
only firemen exit the car
home invasion
defending my space
they invaded but somehow
I’m in the wrong
* * * *
the teacher I choose
her night paintings scintillate
viewed from a distance
* * * *
steady upstream wading
football after football
bobbles by me
[On first typing this one I realized this is pretty much what happened the morning of my flight to CA. As I waited for the late departure fearful I'd miss my San Franciso flight connection due to the delay, fans of that big football game (that the Giants won) filed out of the gate coming back to New York from Chicago. Although I had the dream before I flew to CA, I certainly knew of the game and all the travellers that would be in the airport. I just think its fun to see how one's dreaming mind plays with such events.:-)]
* * * *
elevator corner making love oh-so-gently
* * * *
she dreams of white birds
and trying to keep them in –
his compassionate eyes
[based on a friend’s dream]
* * * *
I don’t want to draw
them all again from scratch
saved by a xerox
* * * *
sudden death symbols*
fill the borders of the quilt
his compassion
[*They were the astrology sign for the sun, and the Sun card in the Tarot can occasionally indicate a sudden death which was my association both in the dream and on waking.]
* * * *
the nun's sent to help
elsewhere than the plane crash
she adjusts
[Note made February 20: I've survived my flight/move to California from New York city, and am now happily (and very exhaustedly) settling in. Lots of work and all my cartons have not even arrived yet. I've been writing dreamku, as you can see from the above. Fortunately, my computer system and scanner/printer survived the trip, too, and are up and running. But I don't have an ISP just yet, so am working at a public access computer in the retirement community where I live. Can't wait to get mine online, but am very grateful for this one just a short walk through the palm and flower-filled grounds to the library here.]
February 11, 2008
my large purple
red-trimmed robe unfolds
we think it’s cool
February 12, 2008
we discuss the tract
about Pterry’s* new book
cats need no religion
[*Terry Pratchett, author of the fabulous fantasy/parody Discworld book series]
February 13, 2008
A SEA CHANGE
she supports him
in every breath he takes
Superman’s new fight
subsumed love
cornered nose-to-nose they split
the stone wall
battle won
Superman’s nose starts bleeding
she fears he’ll die
the saga now called
“Leaders from Atlantis”
foreign heroes land
February 14, 2008
FIRST THINGS FIRST
we find time and space
to begin to make love
children’s voices
kids crowd the kitchen
packing cartons for our move
my frustration
back to work
my would-be lover’s laughter
and gentle ways
February 15, 2008
I’m late, I’m late!
my only clean skirt wrinkled
and with a large hole
February 16, 2008
two women and I
walk away from poor choices
they turn back
February 17, 2008
SOMETHING STINKS
I think she’s alive
I re-read the email
am I mistaken
something monkey-like
escapes from her email
I chase after it
he refuses to stop
the fleeing skunk-like monkey
I’m very p.o.’d
nothing moves him though
I twist his arm into knots
evil super-hero
February 18, 2008
MANY STREAMS, ONE SOURCE
she leaves her baby
rather carelessly
night on the town
handsome owner
flirtation gets her into
the exclusive club
I sort music CDs
to pack for my move
old rock abounds
one music reviewer
with many faces
I finally disagree
she picks up her son
at the day care center
dark puddles and streams
she stands wet and drunk
at the bottom of my stairs
I hope she climbs
February 19, 2008
FALSE IDENTITY
I surprise myself
and take him as my lover
power and wealth
arrested
my only I.D. her fake one
who am I
arraignment
I join other accused in
making new music
even my lover
can't prove who I am
wealth and power
February 20, 2008
as we trudge she says
“What are we coming to ....”
rooted oil lines snake
February 21, 2008
my deep puzzlement
she makes the long trip years late
to confront me
February 22, 2008
TAKING CHANCES
the dice land
a good gamble but now
there's work to be done
I can't possibly
wordprocess this document fast
massive challenge
February 23, 2008
lyrics and reality
the girl he abuses
doesn’t have a name
February 24, 2008
his eye injury
I carry him to the couch
surprised he’s so light
February 25, 2008
no more!
the raging gorilla stops
at my high pitched yell
February 26, 2008
TREE HUGGER
I refuse to scam
and others extort me
tree-lined escape route
he leads me into
a shocking pink grove
embrace this difference
February 27, 2008
shoes of all sizes
and styles litter the store floor
sixteen in the family
February 28, 2008
“Strangers are coming!”
Whoopi teases me about
my hermit tendencies
February 29, 2008
haunted basement
the cat scrambles right back up
the wooden stairs
