Big Aeroplanes


There were dreams
that all had wings
I flew them like a kite

They came to me
in the evening
and left before daylight

the rest is complicated
so foggy and so dense

There is no house
no dog, no swing
No white picket fence

Between the sheets
 the darkness
is everything I own
a tire lump of flesh
so naked and alone. 

The dreams have turned
to memories
its there that we still dance

I drink some wine 
and smile....
fixed, as if in a trance

Yes, I do still think of you
every time it rains
every time I hear that song
or see big aeroplanes.
