CHANGES (photo) & OF ROCKS AND SAND (old dreamku pair) by Roswila

OF ROCKS AND SAND

their dead are rocks
they bury in the sand
Resurrection Beach

grief numbs
she dances on the rocks to
reduce them to sand


[two dreamku written and dreamed in January 2007. More from my on-going review of old handwritten notebooks of my dreamku/dream haiku. I don’t recall if I posted these back then as a pair but they certainly work as such. I find it interesting how even the oldest I’m reading in these ancient notebooks (some source dreams go back to my childhood), call up a memory of the dream itself. Particularly these two, that raise a very clear mental image of the dream: I was standing/walking/dancing on a beach at night, at the end of and almost underneath an old wooden pier with lots of rocks and small boulders around, and I was barefoot. I’d actually planned to post a couple of funny ‘kus today that I re-discovered in this wandering through my haiku/dream history, but I’m in a deeply sad mood and this pair feels more fitting.

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,
