recurring dream
recurring theme

completely different presentation
leaving me completely breathless and afraid to sleep

abandonment on so many levels
sickening

the first,

my father
had to chase him down swirling water
he was smiling

then he was gone

next night,

my daughter
once again
chasing her around the room
under the bed
and it's sand

she's nowhere to be found

two days later,

my mother
making fun of me
laughing
my heart sinking
turn around

she's mimicking me


since then,

it's been a week
phone call
wide awake
can't sleep

my mom's dying

You're beautiful as ever. This kaleidescope of horror is relentless. Stay strong.
