It is a bridge of sleeplessness

and you

outside

his dream

In his dream he

is with someone else

with a new desire

in a different life

His body has shed

the skin of your memory

in his sleep

outside his sleep

Now the one

dreaming over there

isn't yours

he's a stranger

In this draining grief

if you wish, ignore his dream

drown this surge of pain

inside your heart

This night

it's a bridge of sleeplessness

suspended

in the air

crumbling

you won't be able to cross

for all time

to that side

or this

 

 

The secret of his dream

has walked

right up to you

At the dining table

he sits beside you

you beside him

the infidelity of his dream

looks at you

unblinking

He doesn’t know yet

that he’s been found out

He doesn’t know yet

he’s living

another life in his dream

It’ll take him a long time

to tell anything at all

Who knows

when he’ll

confront himself

He won’t

part with you yet

He’ll cling on to you

till the end

He’ll wish to honour

all the sacred vows

Only you

will tire of it

of this invisible one’s gaze

sitting at the table

one day

 

One day

he, too, will know of his dream

Embarrassed, he’ll wander about

avoiding your gaze

Suddenly, he’ll start going on long walks

Suddenly, he’ll like doing

tiring little chores

Sitting with friends

he’ll get drunk late in the night

Won’t say a thing

Will laugh

louder than anyone

This is a warning

He’s looking around

for a hidden spot somewhere

he needs to cast away

this undesired dream

This is a warning

that anything can happen

Don’t close the door on him

yet

Don’t tell him yet

that you knew it all

right up to the end

He’s walking

down this road

long and lonely

just to come back home

 

One day

your days together

will come to an end

It'll be the same old house

the same old things

Only, you two

will be orphaned

Your unborn kids

hovering like ghosts

Out there

the same old world

will be waiting for you

The shadow that razed

your well trenched home

will be nowhere to find

Sometimes the love

of a lifetime

fades away

face to face with a dream
