Blackout

Blackout

Two black dogs
pulling me forward
The sensation in my head
was fuzzy  
My direction wavered
to the left
to the right
to the left again
Can I make it across the bridge?
 
I was flying
on the back of a dolphin
The ride was thrilling
until the descent
to ground 
Gravel in my knees
stinging
as I stared
at the dog collar
minus one dog
 
Not a dream
but light headedness
and blackout 
Kissing the pavement
before sending me
to la-la land
One patient dog
sitting
The other wrestled free
and ate the grass

Grace is hosting D’Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with Stream of Consciousness writing. She explains that basically, its purpose is to emulate the passage of thought through your mind without any inhibitors. For that reason, sentences become longer, less organized and more sporadic in style. Its lack of structure is not for everybody, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any order. Stream of consciousness permits deeper patterns of order to emerge, ones based on the genuine movement of information in your brain.

		I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

      Thanks Lucy.  That is exactly how it happened.  A real blackout a couple of weeks ago.  The dolphin thing was weird.  I don’t think I have ever blacked out before so I guess you go into some kind of dream 😳

      Thank you for caring Ivor dear.  Driving? Oh that scares me more than anything.  Funny as I was writing that tonight I had palpitations.  I drank a lot of tea today and took a headache medicine this afternoon that had caffeine in it.  I was light headed too but I think I just overdid the caffeine.  Fingers crossed. Everything else seems fine.  I have been under some stress lately so that may have contributed to the blackout 😕

      Thanks Dwight.  I was horrified when I saw the collar and leash laying there.  O wondered if I fell on her (Big Lab) and she wiggled out or something.  The other lab just waited patiently.  I was happy I didn’t fall in the road 😳  One person was around and he came to help 👍

    It was fun seeing where your stream of consciousness carried you. I’m glad we participated in this invitation. I will enjoy perusing your site, Christine. ❤

      Thanks Punam.  It did scare me as I’ve never had that happen before.  It was due to some stress so it can happen to any of us.  Thank you for caring ☺️🥰❤️💕

      Thanks Helen.  Yes, it was a head scratcher!  I think it was due to some stress.  A little disconcerting nonetheless 😳
