stare into the fire
answers that you're seeking
will come to you in time

long red matted hair flowing
wide blue eyes wildily staring
rough and tattered garments wearing
frayed material straps feet together binding
otter-smooth she swims strong currents swirling
limb-strings of jellyfish tentacles covering
glistening iridescent in the sea
crying
the coral beach she sees is just beyond her reach

finding herself
thrown there haphazardly on the front stoop
like some limp discarded doll
long red hair still matted
clothes clammy wet and torn
bright-still blue eyes stare blindly
unseeingly into the low cloud-filled skies

O pain in my head

shiver and shake
shake and shiver
and then burn....
shake yourself woman
tis sunrise she thinks

relieved now the water trial over
she lies there
faintly now listening
to the music of the flute and drum

then just before sunrise
a drink is given
from a newly found bleached sea shell
of wild honey
still tasting of salt

and there's a feast awaiting
13 black spiders placed between
2 pieces of brown bread buttered
but she shouts
pog na thon
pog na thon
then listens to the persisting quiet whispers

anoint your head
3 times over
this mixture of ground almonds cinnamin and dew
all will be well in the end
and
in the end all will be well
with rowan twigs tied with bits of string
the dawn is finally breaking
with sleepy eyes
slowly opening
I realize it was all a dream
all but a dream

jet lag dreams

Awesome write Rosie. This reminds me of a a really interesting book I read called "The Mermaids Singing" by Lisa Carey... it's based on the irish ... if you haven't already, you should read it. :)

an authentic dream, fascinating imagery
you sure have captured something special
"finding herself
thrown there haphazardly on the front stoop
like some limp discarded doll"
what a magnificent description, I'm impressed.
