The Dream

Commercial bank
warm and
rank.

Its fish
dead
or dying.

Dial
RSPCA.

Sewage
drains

sludge
remains.

Fresh water
pours.

No.

It’s still the same.

The Meaning

pond
The bank of emotions needs its poisoned swamp draining of waste before it’s refilled.

What Lingers…

What if emotional renewal requires more than refilling? What if it demands a purge?

What if healing can’t begin until the waste is named, not just drained?

Marginalia

Sometimes, life needs a clear-out. We collect experiences and relationships that aren’t always beneficial. Much like the resurfacing of old memories in The X Files, here my dreams are demonstrating how a new environment can be just as harmful if what was originally toxic remains present.
