Flower Soap Dice
I had a dream about a little stiff-legged dog made of small
colored pieces - a curve of white pipe, snips of sheet metal, bits of
plastic suspended in the air somehow. All that stuff runs clattering
to an intersection where several cars screech to a halt from all
sides. Suddenly there's this gust of wind. It makes an eddy - the
kind you see in the city sometimes that makes Styrofoam peanuts
jump in a stuttering spiral, and then dance their way up the street.
The eddy hits the dog and it is snapped apart. The pieces
aren't light enough to move in the wind, so it becomes a scattering
of unconnected bits on the ground . . . I think "Maybe this dream is
meant to help me let things go . . ." Then, I immediately picture
those little bits on the ground and say I think, "Hey, I can do
something with those . . ."
