Tonantzin

In a hammock on my birthday in my old hometown backyard, thinking of writing some younger girl I know around there. Might be advice, romance, inquiry, I can’t recall.

I find a mummified rat while cleaning one of our tents there on the backyard lawn. I recognize him from some wildies that we almost, but quite adopted a few years back — they bred too fast. Parts of his fur are perfectly intact. I accidentally drop his body in a glass of water (during my wakeup phase actually) and I’m a bit sad and frustrated to think that his nice smooth fur, even when dried, will never look sleek again.

Tonantzin is a word stuck in my head from somewhere in the dream. Could even be the little rat fella’s name, for all I know…

Dead Cat Dream

Suddenly awakened. Was in the kitchen with Lynae, heard a sick cat’s wail from behind me. There on the doorway threshold was… I guess I expected it to be a sick Aloysius, but maybe it was Katie back from the dead. That sound, though… sounded a lot like Ginger, now that I think of it. Such a realistic sound, I thought something in the house has woken me up.

Visions afterwards were colorful distortions of living beings, like a 60s flashback warning film passed through a pastel oil bubble.

Then there’s that painting in the hallway… Dead Cat Dance.
