REBIRTH (photo art) & BEAUTY & BEAST (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

BEAUTY & THE BEAST

for the second or third time recently
I can see that grumpy difficult man
is in a surprisingly sweet mood
it feels so good as he comes up behind me
deftly managing his walker, with a light
tap on my shoulder, and a small
almost radiant hello, that I cannot help
but put my arm through his and continue
along with him -- I huddle close as if
we'd always been friends and ask him
for a favor: when he sees that I myself
am actually in a good mood, would he
comment nicely on it? a good mood
happens so rarely for me these days,
I say, it would help to have it affirmed --
I almost pull myself up short as I hear
myself asking this man of mercurial
moods whom I've always avoided
to actually notice and even talk
to me: this moment has taken
the bit in its teeth!
I give up all the useless tugging
at what I've believed to be reins,
for just who is a beauty and who
a beast in the racing ride
of unfolding moments, anyway?


[free verse poem on a dream of 11-20-13. OK, another I'm having difficulty categorizing. It's not very poetic, yet that Beauty & the Beast reference was not explicit in the dream. I came to that on drafting this poem, not to mention that "bit in its teeth" image. So I'm flopping on the side of "poem" given those metaphors. Even though the entire dream itself without them is a metaphor for all sorts of other things which to my way of thinking should qualify it as a poem. Even the other writing of mine here that I've started calling dream narratives are metaphors -- they are dreams, after all. And then there's the issue of the actual writing: how many metaphors can one write into a dream that is already saturated with them due to its very nature. So, there's always this push/pull between the dream itself and (at least part of) what I understand poetry to be and what I am learning about it. Argh! Words fail me in this struggle. Maybe the real problem is caring too much that others might think that I'm mislabeling my writing. When what I need most to do is to continue to focus on the writing, and in that process learn about dreams and how to write. Photo art "Rebirth" (4-4-13, 12428e) by Roswila]

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO DREAMKU (& PHOTOS): The dream-based poems posted on this blog -- dreamku, tanka, two-liners, monoku, free verse, dream narratives -- 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 relate to 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.

Also please note that a dream poem or narrative is not intended as an interpretation of a dream, or even a complete and accurate rendering of one. It is my attempt to get down dream imagery/action that grabs me and, as I write about it, elicits my conscious written association and response. Nor do I believe that one has to remember dreams in order for them to do their work. In my understanding, we are much more than our conscious selves.

You may also note in any further reading on dreamku (the specific forms of dreamku, tanka, two-liners and monoku) you may do here, that in the beginning I stressed "showing, not telling." However, this has been changing for some time. I now tend to "show" (the dream story) and cap if off with a "tell" (some reaction and/or insight I've had to the dream as I was writing about it). This also pretty much applies to my free verse dream poems as well. As to what I have begun calling dream narratives, they are a different animal, probably most akin to prose poems.

A WARPED VIEW (photo art) & FOCUS (dream based free verse w/monoku) by Roswila

FOCUS

focus on the pain, I say,
she nods in agreement
clearly recognizing the source
of this concept -- focus on the pain,
we say in unison -- not on all we try
to surround it with, mistaken
attempts to buffer ourselves
from this acute aliveness

focus on my pain I whisper it speaks


[This one's a mix I've not made before, free verse capped by a monoku -- on a dream of 11-21-13. As with many monoku those ending words can be read two ways, both of which apply (i.e., that the pain starts to "speak" in the dream, or that in the dream I am aware the pain has something to tell me). Another Buddhist influenced dream, I'd say, in that it explores the difference between pain and suffering. Pain being an inevitable part of life, whereas suffering we create for ourselves on top of the pain with how we think about it. Photo art "A Warped View" (9-5-13, 005v6) by Roswila]

NOTHING RED CAN STAY (photo art) & RED (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

RED

deceptive audacious red flaming
from its source with the consuming
force of both hunted and hunter
the last licks riding contorting
ashes with flaring bravado


[free verse poem on a dream of 11-20-13. I began composing this in a dream. I know there was some dreaming prior to working on the color red in words. But I can't recall what it was. All I recall is developing these images in a verbal way, sort of seeing the words in white against a black void. I could go on about the day residue I see in this dream and poem, and the possible significance of the colors black, red, and white. But will leave it all at this. As I've said here many times before, I fear that explaining a dream poem or narrative is more than a bit like explaining a joke. All the air, if you will, gets let out of it.

SPEAKING OUT (photo art) & THE RIGHT THING (six dream tanka w/two liner) by Roswila

THE RIGHT THING

she hands the baby
to me, surprisingly he's
only a large head
asking lightly for something
I can't quite understand

as I lean closer
to hear him, she gives me
a small bag saying
"This is what he's requesting,
he wants to wear his body"

from the bag I lift
two electronic networks
of thin white plastic
that serve as his nervous system
when properly assembled

I get right to work,
carefully applying these
long gummed front and back
systems to each other so
the baby-head can connect

as I concentrate
she paces and fumes: "I can't
believe this is not
yet legal ... yeah, the case
is still before the judges,

it seems what matters
most is how acutely strange
the arrangement is
and not that the baby-head
experiences a body"

but I have no doubt this is the right thing to do
and connect the networks to the happy baby-head


[six tanka capped by a two-liner on a dream of 11-19-13. This is the second dream this year in which a baby-head image has appeared. (Here's a link to the first one.) Both dreams do largely address proper self-parenting, especially hearing what one needs. That these babies have no bodies? Highly appropriate for someone who's had tremendous (pun intended) body issues all her life. And also not surprising I'd have this dream now as I'm losing weight (33 lbs. to date) while wrestling with fully and deeply hearing my body's needs. Not to mention I live a great deal of the time in my head. Always have. Thing is, though, before age and arthritis I did a lot of that thinking while hiking. It was all too easy to give up on being physical that way when pain entered the picture, and stay glued to my computer chair. There's a lot more in this dream but I'll leave it at this.

LANDSCAPE (photo art) & THE SAME OLD STORY (dream narrative) by Roswila

THE SAME OLD STORY

it's still the same old story ... this new
rainbow colored sweatshirt slipped
right on so why can't I get it off? my father
gives me a small tolerant smile -- see if I
ask him for help, I think -- and turn
to my new woman friend saying "Just put
your hands here and here and pull it over
my head as I bend toward you" -- with a huge
look of dismay she responds "But what if I
catch your hair?" -- backing off I mutter
under my breath, not if she does as I'm asking,
why can't folk just help in the way that's needed?

... the fundamental things apply ... no one,
not even medical staff, believes that my red-haired
teenage twin sons don't have diabetes after all,
tests to the contrary people stay wedded
to their preconceptions, while I
simply let their entrenched views be,
grateful for any good news

... as time goes by ... this worn out, nearly
building size truck with tires taller than I, is slated
for demolishment, it hogs the view across the open
space of this martian-like landscape -- then whoosh!
crunch! and it's totally flattened, run over by a newer
model of the same old monster vehicle -- I'm told
in a tone implying telling should not be necessary,
that the squashed one will be left to reduce to rust
and rubble in the alternating glare of the sun
and the unfocussed gaze of the moon ...
it's still the same old story


[dream narrative on three dreams of 11-18-13. Yes, there are snatches of lyrics from that famous song "As Time Goes By" (from the movie "Casablanca") woven throughout this three dream narrative. I recall singing bits of it in and between these dreams. I also woke up singing it in my mind. Photo art "Landscape" (Other Pix, 5923ev2) by Roswila]

TAKING A DIVE (photo art) & WHO WILL LOVE THE MERMAID (non-dream free verse poem) by Roswila

WHO WILL LOVE THE MERMAID

who will love the mermaid
deserted atop high rocks
at the edge of a vastly old sea
the ancient sea whose erratic flicking
barely reaches the fluted fin of her tail

her long fish tail fading in the drying sun
from scintillating curves that once inspired
myths into a matte memory flashing
smaller and smaller fractions of sky
with each weak stirring

no oubliette could isolate her more
than stranding under the oblivious sun
her land legs only and ever
a fractured fairy tale
her deep sea heart evaporating
bit by bit and rising like silent prayers
from the burning exposure of rocks

she clings like a limpet
as she wastes away
on the jagged promontory: yes
who will love the mermaid and
what will she have left to give


[non-dream free verse poem written in October 2011; revised 4-12 & 11-13. Like so many of my poems and photos, there's been something about this effort I've liked but much that I did not. I think this recent revision may have whipped it into the best shape I am able to give it. Of course, then there's the underlying issue I've had trouble with: an unexpressed self-pity. (Oh yes, I still identify strongly with this mermaid at times.) I just don't know if that whiff of self-pity I get from it undermines the poem. Photo art "Taking A Dive" (8-27-11) by Roswila]

THE PARTY LINE (photo art) & ON REFUSING (dream tankas w/two-liner) by Roswila

ON REFUSING

the president's wife
calls me on the telephone
she knows her husband's
been cheating on her, also
aware I may know with whom

she strongly implies
I could lose my position
if I don't reveal
the name of the brazen hussy
messing with the president

now which is more rank?
infidelity's odor
or the wife's blackmail:
I cannot bear cheaters but
hold no respect for this wife

I keep the I.D.
of his paramour secret
claiming I don't know,
refusing to get between
this entrenched power couple

I don't mind the little weight of this lie
and why risk the nuclear fall out from truth


[four tanka capped by a two-liner on a dream of 11-10-13. I've had this one in my unposted file for a week, not sure how I felt about it. And fortunately other dreams prompted writing I felt better about posting in the meantime. But last night came up "dry" (that often happens at a full moon for me) and I'm left to choose between posting something I like even less, something I've posted before, or skipping a day. So I'm going with this "fresh" one above. If I really think on it -- as I just did :-D -- this is a somewhat positive dream. No matter the pressures to the contrary (both objective and subjective) I am beginning to take care of myself in ways I haven't before. Photo art "The Party Line" (4-3-12) by Roswila]
