These trains rot on you
The salmon sunsets catch you
Sprawled across windows

To see a healthy belly denotes insane desires
to dream of fly-paper if you wear ornaments in dreams
foretells she will become the mistress of interesting fortunes
to retain the affections of a flirtatious person

To dream of hearing harmonious music
a process to turn other things into gold
find out the standing of one in business or social circles
to dream of black feathers

You will emerge from obscurity into places of distinction
for a young woman to dream she is under strange influences
that a bright future lies before you filled with health
be his patrimony, with chills and ague as attendant

If you unwillingly ride on one, or as jockey
your interests are threatened

phrases taken at random from The Dictionary of Dreams, Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1984

a naked bulb caked / with love spins uproars of light / ripping the walls nude

lindsay’s new typewriter / reminds me of my teen-age rebellions / wiser than helvetica

coming off stove-top speed / beneath my hair the bells the bells / while the room slides back

twitter haiku, 05/7-9/2010

a screw dropp’d from specs / gorges margins far away but / i don’t need glasses to love

partially aware of my value / and teasing rapture down a sullen sky / saturday night all alone with you

a day strained through clouds / lindsay writing mother’s day poems / as i lay rinsed by her skin’s mysticism
