I’d Always Opt for Peaches
When I woke, and the stars were lost,
I thought I’d lost you, too. That dream,
it was all about death. Or so it seemed,
although I don’t think anyone died.
It was a glimpse, like dressing for dinner,
when dinner wasn’t about food, but
long-tailed jackets. Clothing without
direction, as if true north was a myth.
And all those pink peaches.
Did I forget to mention the peaches?
Yes, perhaps so. Peaches rolling about
like cheese wheels down a steep hill.
But I know that dreams about death
never mean death. It’s more about
new beginnings. A subconscious flush.
Truly, I’d rather dream of those peaches
because endings come soon enough.

I hardly ever remember my dreams, so I hate that feeling you get when you are waking up from a good dream and know it’s going to be over PDQ. 😂

I think I read somewhere that we only remember dreams that happen when we’re on the verge of waking. All the rest go into some dream bin or other. 😂 It’s all very dreamy.

The dream bin. There’s an idea for a poem if ever there was one. 😂

Dream pain woke me up the other night (ie 2AM-sh) only to alert me that my gouting ankle didn’t want me to get up & walk into the bathroom, even though failing to do so would have been equally (perhaps more) problematic.
A peachy write, Misky. Thanks.
