It’s a strange feeling to not miss anything or anyone and to not feel haunted. Maybe because I’m writing again.

Dreamt of post WW3 Paris. I’m in a surviving family’s bunker, looking out at thousands of rows of bunkers covered in vibrant graffiti. Skaters’ playground, mesmerizing. The family are found people, Indian, Nigerian, French. They celebrate every event with paper flowers, rituals.

Micro dream about two foxes emerging unscathed from the snow after a fire, one called Flame and the other called Destiny.

Deliciously lush lazy summer days, drifting between daydreams and sleep, floating under the trees and endless blue sky

Woke from a micro dream where we were hanging up a banner saying: We begin again, but not from this world.

Dreamt wild dogs growled outside the broken window in the dead of night. I shout loudly in defense and we have a standoff. My shouts turn into barks and then I’m howling, howling, turning into some other primal thing, and even the dogs are afraid.

Dreamt I was in a luxurious resort where we all lounged in silk robes in dark wood paneled chambers. My suite was draped in billowing, diaphanous tapestries of deep midnight and lapis blues, adorned with intricate embroidery of entwining vines and peacocks. Of course I take pics.

Dreamt I lived in war torn France. I’m an ordinary shop girl by day and scheming with the rebellion by night. My room is hidden inside an old bookstore with a false storefront. The city lost power, there’s only candlelight. Danger lurks everywhere.

Woke up murmuring ancient incantations again

Dance-fighting my way outta this rage, as per usual, music on blast and twirling like a shaman

Driftwood I can’t recall the last time I’d seen Mia and now here she was at my front door, head shaved, asking for a ride to the airport.

This one is close to my heart.

We create sublime
chaos every night
stories mind-reeling
and heart-rending

the silk of dreams
slipping through trembling
fingers as eyes open to
morning’s harsh punishment

and we forever dwell
in between dark & light
creation & destruction
magic & horror
