remembering my dreams

sometimes isn't easy

i was trying
but
they were sounding
a little like they might upset you
so i stopped

there was a girl in a sparkling shorts suit
stars and stripes

but
i got the distinct impression, somehow
that she was you
and she was leaving me

there was a ballet or opera or something
and i was looking at characters
in boxed up personas
pull them out
see the whole of the character
like some holographic trick

and the characters all seemed to be villains

there was more
but it was all weird
and symbolic, i'm sure

it's very rare that i go back to bed once i'm awake
i rarely sleep till 4 in the afternoon, regardless

my head still hurts today
and
i see no front forecasted
so
maybe it's some sort of menstrual cycle thing
that i never associated with that
pre-menstrual migraines
now there's something to be happy about

i had the same issue at least last month
[although there was a storm last month]

i'm not exactly sure when to expect my period
because i saw no evidence of ovulation this month
so, best guess
today or tomorrow
