WHITE WASH (photo) & DISPOSAL (dreamku & two-liner) by Roswila

DISPOSAL

where are the trash cans?
there used to be several
on this sunny beach

my arms overflow with bags of garbage
but there’s no place left that I can dump it


[a dreamku capped by a two-liner on a dream of 12-29-12. This is really a rather forward looking dream. More and more these days I find myself questioning if I’m projecting (from Wikipedia: psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people). At the same time, I’ve been a bit frustrated with the difficult or just plain icky stuff I’d usually have projected -- what does one do with it all? Maybe just live with it compassionately.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO DREAMKU (& PHOTOS): The dream-based poems posted on this blog -- dreamku, tanka, two-liners, and monoku -- are offered in the spirit of collaboration. I have done my part. Now it’s your turn to jump in and see what comes up for you. I.e., there is no right or wrong way to understand or interpret any of these dream offerings. Even my own understandings of them change over time. And it gives me joy when a reader sees something in any of them that I have not.

For more in-depth exploration:
