i dreamt i was the moon, but the dream seemed real upon waking, so much so that i checked the mirror for craters and dark sides. i found nothing of interest–no man living there, no celestial maiden, no mochi pounding rabbits. the memory of that cold embrace of the dark sky, being held by nothing, floating and shining with an impossible weightlessness of being both far away and as near as a reflection in glass haunted me throughout the day and well into a moonless night.
the dream of the moon (20190722)
Words and Feathers 
That’s just the feeling of a vivid dream. (K)
Thanks! Long time no see. All on me, of course, I’m not around much.
It’s hard to be everywhere. Nina is currently on hiatus and I go in and out. But good to see your words!
Thank you.
…those dreams (or nightmares) that don’t let go once we awaken can be very unsettling. You describe it well.
Thank you. Welcome to the blog/nest.
That would certainly be a unsettling experience presented as you do here Crow. ~shiver~
I’m all about the unsettling.
This is brilliant in every way. Mochi pounding rabbits!!! I remember reading Lorca’s “Blood Wedding” when I was about 17, and being shocked by the scene when the Moon comes out
on stage and delivers a very poetic and hauting soliloquy….Your poem has that kind of impact.
Thank you very much. I think haunting is kind my thing. 💀
Oh, that’s a gorgeous piece. You know your moon myths! I love the feel of this, I’ve had those hyper-realistic dreams that leave you checking yourself or your room or your world. I wonder where they come from?
Thank you.
Who knows where they come from? Imagine the money you could make if you bottle it.
Travels to dreamland can be unsettling for sure. Who is to say where we go when we dream. Maybe you were there?
I’ve been there many times even if I can’t point to it on a map.
To that specific place? Or to dreamland? If to a specific place, you’re being brought there for a reason. There’s a message for you there, or somewhere along the path.
Just dreamland…
Dude how the hell are you
Doing very well, indeed, my friend. How do things fare with you? Staying out of trouble?
No trouble follows me Where ever I go
That’s why I stay at home. If I don’t go, it can’t follow…
It gets boring..like now its thundering like 2 gods movin the clouds around
Hopefully they won’t chuck any lightning bolts your way.
I got they done that already
I was wondering why your smile seemed a bit more craggy than usual!🌜
I thought you were going to say my smile was cheesy.
Lol. That, too! You are so illuminating with a dark side, of course —- so moony! 😀
