SPINNING OUT (photomorph) & EVICTION (mixed format dream poem) by Roswila

EVICTION

why's she evicting
me after all these year of sharing
this huge apartment?
haven't all our rough edges been rounded off,
friction barely more than light touches now

but maybe she doesn't enjoy living like
a couple of well-rounded people

accommodation may bore her to tears, and rolling
freely by each other may make her nauseous

not calm her (the way it does me)
into a ball of relief: I'm at home at last


[a tanka with three two-liners on a dream of 3-21-18. This one goes round and round with it's "meanings" (i.e., what I glean about its significance from associations and such). Mostly, though, it points out how very different people's responses are to the same situations/experiences. The eviction, though, is the major image and carries the most weight. And that's too much to go into here. Suffice it to say there are big changes afoot ... inside myself, if one sees each woman here as a part of me.

PLEASE NOTE: in most browsers you can click on the above image for a larger version. Also, the photo accompanying a post is not necessarily meant to illustrate it, but to reflect some small, even slant aspect of the verse, similar to Japanese haiga (illustrated haiku).

There are many other sorts of posts on this blog. I indicate which are about or influenced by dreams. Some non dream focused posts are book reviews, "regular" poems (some by other writers), scifaiku, writing exercises, Tarot haiku, photos, haiga, and so on. However, most of those are in much older posts. There's a listing by month going back to early 2006, at the end of the sidebar.

until next time, keep dreaming,
