A Dream |
| Open up your secret |
| Tell me how I might refract |
| For I am one and one life in one time’s |
| A mirror that I’ve been dying to crack |
| And let the world be more |
| Though I know in each act I open up a door |
| I wonder still at the labyrinths before |
| That now lie unwandered and ignored |
| I could swear that I’ve lived as long as you |
| That I can imitate anything you do |
| But your hands are hundreds, I’ve just two |
| Spun from the clock’s relentless core |
| I could move like blown air |
| Everywhere, omniscient and wild |
| I would be your brother, lover, father, and child |
| I’d find a way to be foolish and be wise |
| And trace all of the seams in time’s disguise |
| And at the end of the day, I could blink my eyes |
| To reload another self once more |
| Now I’m hearing your footsteps in the halls |
| While your singing is arching over walls |
| Tell me, can it be really you at all |
| In skies and on the ocean floor? |
| Last night I had a dream that you adored me |
| Last night I had a dream that I shone bright |
| The more I am at once to everybody |
| The more I’ll be like you, the more I can rewrite |
| Here outside it’s raining, it’s wailing |
| I’m soaked to the blood |
| Somehow I know that you did this |
| It’s your kiss on my head, your dry ground under the flood |
| And if I learn to swim |
| Then you’re still the sea that I’m writhing in |
| Defining all that I am and that I’ve ever been |
| And all whom I will never be |
| Is there a way I might drink of you, not drown? |
| Is there a way I might find the pipeline out |
| Or diffuse my body into sound |
| Becoming waves, becoming free? |
| Last night I had a dream that you adored me |
| Last night I had a dream that I shone bright |
| The more I am at once to everybody |
| The more I’ll be like you, the more I can rewrite |
| I dreamt I was the air, that I was so strong |
| I dreamt I was a promise I could keep |
| I dreamt I was a film, I was a novel |
| A prayer for the impossible, a dire and desperate leap |
| I dreamt about a car of grease and metal |
| I dreamt I was the moment of its crash |
| I dreamt I was a fire, a shrieking kettle |
| A cradle and a coffin and a wolf among the sheep |
| I dreamt I was a priest without forgiveness |
| I dreamt I was a thief who could see God |
| I turned away my eyes to keep them human |
| And waking up I find that they’ve been stolen in my sleep |
| I dreamt that I had never loved another |
| I dreamt her heart was safe behind her ribs |
| That I could stop this war, that I could save her |
| That I was just a dream returning to the deep |
