When We Are Dreaming
from Travelogue: Paris

The victor takes the girl

The stars abide
As far as she can see
As long as I
Believe we’re dreaming

It’s where her mother died
A pause of life
Slackened on the knot
A self forgot

From dust to bone
In between we dig a home
I am to be
All the man she sees in me
When we are dreaming.
