Seawater

I am in waist high seawater
with thousands of others who know the day has come


Tree

I'm at the south door of Carnarvon, (my elementary school)
with a couple of indeterminate people.
We are watching a stampede of exotic birds rush into the school.
There are two pigeons; one black and one white, wrestling under a tall tree.
We are looking around for feathers to take with us.
I find a bush of peacock feathers growing from the ground.
I pluck one feather out of the dirt, carefully, like pulling off a band-aid, so I won't hurt the earth.
I find some bright red plumes, a large owl feather, and several iridescent ones.
Three crows fly overhead and a black feather drops at my feet.
I pick it up and put it with the others before I begin the climbing of the tree above the pigeons.
The tree is very smooth, and the colour of dried blood.
(like an arbutus tree, only much larger)
It has large curling branches that snake together in a climbable maze.
The higher I climb, the larger the tree grows.
Bigger and wider.
Then there are people all around me.
Some are climbing (like me), some just sitting in the branches, some looking lost.
There's one girl in blue and white striped tights sitting on a swing way up high.
By this time the tree is as wide as a house,
with intricate branches weaving all around the inside of it.
I pull myself upwards from branch to branch and up vines.
I can smell dried apricots.
[The following day 3 crows flew overhead & one of their feathers fell out & landed at my feet.
I took it home & hung it over my bed.]


Jesus tea set

I'm in a large store trying to find coffee mugs.
I find a tacky (extremely tacky) 3 piece 'tea set' made out of shiny iridescent porcelain.
There is a teapot with a Jesus icon on the front
(a close up of his face; eyes cast upwards and a crown of thorns sitting crookedly on his head),
a dainty teacup with four nails crossed on the front,
and a crucifix holding a thermometer rather than a Christ figure.
Aside from this 3 piece set I find an intricate mug
with 3d frog figures all around it and climbing out of it,
and yet another with rabbits on it that move around
underneath a veilskin that covers the mug.


White bra?

I'm with Christine (F) trying on clothes.
I find a dress. It's a leopard skin sleeveless top that fades into a gaudy flower print skirt.
I go into a changing room to try it on, but the room is too small and the door is too short.
I'm afraid I'll fall out of the door, so I finally give up and change in the aisle.
I'm wearing a big white bra.
(this is odd, because I don't own one)
The dress fits, so I buy it and leave with Christine.


Mothers RIP

I run into Chantelle and Emily, whose mothers have both committed suicide in the last year.
Emily had assisted her mother in hanging herself, and is still quite disturbed by it.
This seems to be the normal thing to do though, and we are discussing it.


Tattoo lady

I'm lying next to a beautiful pixie-like woman who is nude.
Her body is covered in many tattoos.
Mermaids, dragons, characters from Alice in Wonderland, etc.
The tattoos shift around her body when she breathes.
I am slowly and meticulously colouring in her tattoos.
It's sweetly erotic on a very deep level.
