Dreamku Posted in March 2007

Dreamed various dates up to March 2007 by Roswila [aka Patricia Kelly]
www.roswila-dreamspoetry.blogspot.com

INTRODUCTION

These haiku were not necessarily written on the date they were posted, nor were their source dreams dreamt on that date. I choose a dream haiku to post on any given day by looking through my handwritten notebook and picking one that appeals to me for one reason or another. The dream haiku in this little notebook are based on dreams I had from yesterday all the way back to many years ago. I do have the month and year of the dream recorded with the haiku so I could sort all these dream haiku in date order of their source dream should I ever want to. Horse Head 2, by Patricia Kelly (a/k/a Roswila); white line drawing on black.

I had a hard time discerning any theme for my dreamku last month. I'd have to say a theme for this month isn't readily apparent either, though I do note a lot of animals, especially horses. That I would be choosing horse-themed dreamku to post makes sense. The horse is one of my power animals and I always think of it as representing my body. This is highly appropriate as I've been taking very good care of my poor, beleaguered and aging body (even losing weight again) for about a month and a half. These two dreamku struck me as clearly addressing this process:

drawing it out
the horse radiates light
from its belly
an elephant trumpets
the man says he works now
only with horses

That the month's selections end with a difficult "steep descent" also makes sense. I've been through a harrowing few days emotionally and have finally surfaced with some very helpful and motivating insights.

Dreamku Posted in March 2007

March 1, 2007
dead folk from Atlantis
hooked up as batteries
this is not good
March 2, 2007
written in the air:
the blood must be returned
to the fire
March 3, 2007
the ancient tree
takes root within her
an essence of pine
March 4, 2007
drawing it out
the horse radiates light
from its belly
March 5, 2007
TINY PAW PRINTS
(based on 4 separate dreams, 10/06 to 3/07)
I leave them to it
their annoying little dog
follows me
we rush to dig up
the living puppy again
brief relief
baseboard
the mini-dachshund
drives a land-boat
the tiny dog leaps
over large dogs lying down
unflagging guard
March 6, 2007
an elephant trumpets
the man says he works now
only with horses
March 7, 2007
TWO FOR THE ROAD
(from one recent dream)
a spying camel
we halt our horseback escape
into the desert
the escaped camel
wants freedom as much as we
desert night riders
March 8, 2007
I dismount
the lion lies down to rest
should I?
March 9, 2007
the girl sketches dragons
in bright blue-green ink
speaking true
March 10, 2007
FIVE DUSTY SHARDS
(based on dreams of 12/21/06)
he admits to
inappropriate longings
time trip
bed-time story
the young girl threatens
to call the police
the famous man
signs his photo for the girl
seduction
I track the lost girl
by her noisy shoes
dark tunnel
the girl rounds on me
with a knife in each hand
listen closely!
March 11, 2007
rocky cove
the red sails on an anchored
sea-faring ship
March 12, 2007
I announce he'll need
a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen
vampire outing
March 13, 2007
for a living
he steals horses and sells them
seedy side of town
March 15, 2007
A CHANGE OF OUTLOOK
(dreams of 12/06 and 1/07)
detour
I drag my feet towards
my old family home
* * * *
she leads the way back
to my wood frame house
moonlit grass and trees
March 14, 2007
muddy rebirth
a woman and child hauled up
with the pasta strands
March 16, 2007
FOUNDATIONAL
(from one dream of 3/13/07)
I guess it's a
fridge we're hooking up
basement work
more basement fix-up
we connect eight
telephone lines
and more basement chores
we bail overflowing suds
from the clothes washer
March 17, 2007
starvation wages
for spinning all this thread
the source of all yarns
March 18, 2007
one swears to save her
the other threatens rape
the priest needs funding
March 19, 2007
she wants to steal
the exquisite rose brooch
so do I
March 20, 2007
girl challenger
mature Queen On'Sa quickly
wins the wrestling match
[In the dream I both heard
and saw the name "On'Sa"]
March 21, 2007
city souvenir
the bamboo staff becomes
my pogo stick
March 22, 2007
she's the least fierce
of my personalities
just wait
March 23, 2007
he rises up
the church's hierarchy
haunting ambition
March 24, 2007
surprisingly
it's the hope of the future
space dragon's hatchling
March 25, 2007
holistic farming
the evidence of old wounds
is more intriguing
March 26, 2007
carriage launch
the small baby jumps
onto the larger
March 27, 2007
upstairs beckons
the escalator speeds me
to Detroit
March 28, 2007
day's end
the tireless chihuahua
jumps over large dogs
March 29, 2007
the car is gone
the garage floor sunk
pre-emption
March 30, 2007
my silver beaked mask
he still fears they'll know
he's with me
March 31, 2007
steep descent
..........razor sharp
..............stair railing

EDITOR'S NOTE

On Roswila's own site, these dreamku were posted in one endless column. I have experimented here with pasting them into a rough calendar form. Lengths vary, so the grid is not too strict, but it does visually hint at the dialogue between nearby days and nights that (I think) happens as Roswila writes.
