bareback dream

Smudge Patterns, reflective of the various spiritual influences and experiences in my life, are often poems about the journey. The journey of self, of belonging, of making a difference, of seeing, of finding voice, and of making sense. These poems are often created in the intersection between dreaming and wakefulness, whether that's in dreams before dawn or during daytime moments when reality tilts or blurs. "bareback dream" awoke from a dream many years before I actually moved back to Missouri. As a little girl I always wanted to ride horses bareback. This dream girl did that and more. She's still on the journey.

New revision January 10, 2015...
bareback dream

said she'd hitchhiked
from the desert
to Missouri.
kept looking west
as if the sun
called her home.
wanted to know if her friends
had really missed her,
but forgot their names
with each new dawn.

on a walk down Main Street
her feet echo each storefront
traces of ruins 
trailing behind.

the wheel-hum of cobblestone
reminds her of mom's horses,
bareback morning dreams
and fireflies
through wheat field summer nights.

she wants to rope herself
in four directions
to find the life
she keeps oversleeping.
