MOVE OVER! (photo art) & THE EXCUSE ARTIST & THE OPPORTUNIST (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

THE EXCUSE ARTIST & THE OPPORTUNIST

she feels a body slide into bed behind her,
inviting deep-throated mumbling says
its a male -- the heat rising off the expanse
of his bare skin (hoo boy, he's totally nude)
stirs her deeply in both memory
and the moment

but who is he? no one surely that she knows,
-- this hot song of courting has not come
around in ages, nor has she sought it --
just as she's about to make the turn about
to see his face she realizes who he is,
that young man she'd been involved
with decades back, who's many years
her junior ...

no this cannot work! she makes it clear
that he should leave her wrinkled sheets,
and starts to explain: the difference of 20
years in their ages is more disturbing
now that she is white-haired and quite
arthritic (can he get the picture, even
in the dark?) and they haven't even
spoken in decades, and ... and ... and ...

but before she can finish he jumps up,
his feet slapping on the cold linoleum floor
as he rushes to embrace his current belle
on the other side of the room (where it
seems she's been waiting all along!)
as if to say "No sweat, I'm only after
what I can get, and easily at that"

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.

For more in-depth exploration of the dreamku forms specifically and one post in which I also address my photo choices:

THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD (photo art) & TWO ROAD STORIES (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

TWO ROAD STORIES
(It's All About the Clothes)

Dream One:

is she in costume? is she in mourning?
just why, pray tell, is she wearing
that totally inappropriate outfit
to join our roller skating race along
this winding seaside road in the foothills ...
I mean, that long black dress will surely
twist around her legs and that body veil
draping from head to toe (face and all!)
may be a lovely pale sunset pink
but what is it about? hm, she's new
to our neighborhood, maybe she's just
getting the jump on us all and claiming
the place she knows she'll be assigned
anyway: a lone woman at the outside
edge, a latter day hedge witch


Dream Two:

no, he's not ready yet to move back in
with his artsy, self-centered mother,
what teen doesn't really like coming
and going as he pleases and despite
his mom's dire predictions he's doing
fine, just fine, on his own -- he puts on
a black leather jacket, yeah, it won't quite
zip up but it's warm out tonight anyway ...
now, what shoes to put on ... he'd rather go
barefoot but accepts that's not smart
when riding a motorcycle ... ah, there!
and he slides into tall white platforms,
and, no, he doesn't really need the extra
height being a tall drink of water
like his father, it's only the contrast
they make to his jacket that he likes,
as if he were stepping out of an old black
and white Marlon Brando biker movie --
he flips the leather collar of his jacket up
to frame his neck, runs his fingers
through his dark, wiry hair, and whistles
for his buddies -- it's time to hit the road

GRAVID (photo art) & MASQUERADING (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

MASQUERADING

my long-deceased friend Brenda,
though I barely note this
resurrection, waddles toward me
her smooth young face carefully bland
and apparently massively pregnant

but I know she's not expectant
and it's clear to me she wants
to pull my leg for some obscure
pleasure of her own by letting
me think so: it doesn't work

she stops short and gets right up
in my face, belly wobbling between
us then settling down, I say
"Is it a side effect of all your
chemotherapy?"

I can tell by a look that flits across
her muted face that once again
I know what's true and what's not,
and that she'd forgotten I read
micro-expressions even better
than masquerading bellies


[free verse poem on a dream of 11-27-13. "Micro-expressions" are said to last from 1/25th to 1/15th of a second, revealing what a person would rather hide (from themselves and/or another person) and can be voluntary or involuntary. I've often thought it might be these I used to read when I was doing Tarot readings professionally and surprising people with my insights on occasion. I know I am still rather aware of micro-expressions. Though I sometimes forget this is probably how I've come to a particular response to someone without any overt expression from them. However, I'd like to stress that this dream is more a message that I have successfully "unmasked" a recent inner emotional masquerade of my own. BTW, Brenda was an actual friend of mine who died many years ago. (I took care of her in the apartment we shared until three months before she died of cancer.) She shows up in dreams every so often and is always welcome, even faking a pregnancy. Photo art "Gravid" (3-10-10, 10046v7) by Roswila]

BEFORE THERE WERE BOARDWALKS (photo) & THE WOMAN WITH MY MOTHER'S NAME (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

THE WOMAN WITH MY MOTHER'S NAME

the woman with my mother's name walks
slowly along the boardwalk in the morning light
but instead of her usual perplexity she appears
focused and purposeful -- she pushes a long dark
stick ahead of her opening the seams between
the slats of the boardwalk, leaving a wake
of wobbly about to collapse footing behind --
just as I decide to find someone in authority
to deal with this fix she hauls a ladder
from nowhere and climbs to the extended
slatted over-hang that shields out the sun!
she's systematically dismantled all she's stood
upon and now she's after what's given her shelter
-- but who am I to say that this woman
with my mother's name is wrong
in her new determination, maybe
a re-grounding in the open light
would be good for us all

A LOT ON HER MIND (photo art) & SOME THINGS (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

SOME THINGS

some things just need to be kept
separate, so why did I help her
set up a mutual watering system
for these two plants and then back
them up to each other in a hanging
macramé pot? well, at least I stop
her when she starts to water
them yet again "Don't you recall
that trip to the store," I say, "We
bought bottled water just for them"
sadly, it's clear one's already wilting
for lack of water and the other
in danger of rot from too much
"Needs for nourishment do vary
greatly among all growing things,"
I add, silently determined to re-
plant this pair, each in a separate
clay pot so that meeting the needs
of one won't over burden
or deny the other


[free verse poem on a dream of 11-25-13. This dream is primarily a metaphor for how I've begun to slip on keeping my food/diet issues and efforts separate from anything else going on for me. (E.g., not letting my emotions -- about anything, even dieting -- determine my choices of action with respect to how I eat.) It's also an exploration in a way of the differing needs and abilities of our conscious and unconscious minds. What may meet the needs of our unconscious mind may very well conflict with those of our conscious mind, and vice versa. Not out of any "intent" to do so by either part of our minds, but by their very natures. This is to my understanding probably the biggest balancing act of all in life, between the conscious and the unconscious.

WITNESS (photo art) & ALL IN BLACK (dreamku series) by Roswila

ALL IN BLACK

I cab with a friend
to do my Christmas shopping
a homeless teen dressed
all in black rapidly births
her baby in the back seat,

unremarkable to all of us in the taxi,
but warmly familiar to the stirring dreamer ...

a strange woman garbed
in a black robe fills a bathtub
she blocks my access
to the water, keeping the end
where I stand dry as a bone

I pass a bowl to her requesting water
she fills it, sloshing the contents back at me

and so it goes, bowl by bowl, but better than none


[two tankas, each capped by a two-liner, and all topped by a monoku, on a dream of 11-24-13. Yes, black is associated with death, but in dream work it is also associated with the unconscious and with something new emerging. And that familiarity of the first scenario? I realized on drafting this writing that it's the resemblance to the story of Christ's birth. Not that I'm expecting (pun intended) a sacred birth, but it's certainly the season for that sort of imagery. And in Jungian archetypal psychology there is an image called the spiritual child which, if I recall correctly, symbolizes the Self. The Self signifying the unification of the conscious and unconscious, and representing the psyche as a whole. I've had what I believe to be brief brushes with the Self archetype many times in dreams. Oh, and that bowl in the closing line? I understand symbols/images in the Jungian sense -- as vessels into which we pour our unconscious contents (i.e., the vessel gives them a graspable shape of some sort). And, most definitely, image by image is how it goes for me, no matter it makes me a little impatient at times for a grand and total awakening. Though I imagine that could be overwhelming, a tsunami of sorts. BTW, that "stirring dreamer" phrase references a very brief, vaguely lucid reaction to the cab scene, before the bathtub part of the dream. Photo art "Witness" (9-2-09, 6433v2) by Roswila]

RE-CYCLING (photo art) & THE GREEN INBOARD (free verse dream poem) by Roswila

THE GREEN INBOARD

it may be a large lake but even so
it has a lot of boats to accommodate
these prized possessions in all sizes
and colors, each manned proudly
by one person, my young friend's
boat a small inboard
in a lovely deep green

as he puts it through its paces
for me, shined and almost purring,
he tells me of a huge swell
on the lake that caught his boat
and one much larger one cross-
wise as it rose swiftly and passed
even faster, cracking both boats
along their bottoms

"Repairs to both were readily
made," he reassures me, "and mine
even sings now from underneath
where it was mended, listen!"

he turns his green delight
in a tight circle, looking over
his right shoulder toward the stern
where silvery harmonics rise
in the bright morning air


[free verse poem on a dream of 11-23-13. The image of a small inboard boat has a lot of meaning to me personally, going way back to childhood. That's not to limit the dream to memory. Not at all. It's acutely present day, as well, and surprised me with it's ultimate positivity. Photo art "Re-Cycling" (9-2-09, 6438v14) by Roswila]
