In my dream she carries the dog out of the storefront where she washed him. He’s a caramel French bulldog with fluffy hair and once she puts him down in the street where I’m laying I can’t keep my hands off of him.

In my dream it’s in the back of a cluttered music shop on a shelf: a hand made tarot deck with two sets of cards: one that is standard rectangles and one that is cut into a self portrait silhouette of its maker. All the cards are laminated silk, vividly painted. I speculate about the woman who created them while gathering them up to take home.
