Ancients

Last night I saw you in a dream

I am so much older now

But you were standing there

And you were still the same

I long to pull you into my life

Like a fish that tastes the air

And bends its silver body in the light

Like the spy who came in from the cold

With nobody left to hold

All the relics of our days

Were discarded far away

We crossed the bridge that ancients built

Saw the Tiber for the first time

Walked its deserted riverbanks at night

From our rusted balcony

We felt the motion of the sea

In our Japanese room

We could see the blossom bloom

The door is always open

The door is always open

Open to you
