Jung Would Have A Field Day With This

Finding meaning

in a dissociated dream,

searching for the right track

at the train station

with a girlfriend,

dressed up like tarts:

garters, stockings, no underwear.

A dream-sargeant finds you

before you board the train

and subjects your tender girlfriend

to a cavity search

for unidentified evidence.

You have no inkling

what this might be about,

but you are ashamed anyway.

The dream-sargeant turns to you,

intimating

that you are excused this time,

but her finger’s on the trigger,

hammer cocked.

Best to get dressed

and wipe off that mascara

before the consequences are amplified.

Hedgewitch challenged the Real Toads with a word list derived from Carl Jung’s Man & His Symbols, including: meaning, dissociated, tender, inkling, trigger, and amplified.
