Almost! Almost!
I had that dream again
an open space
perhaps an airport terminal
it's hard to say
cathedral light illuminates
we circulate
among an uncooperative crowd
and for a time it seems as if
we'll finally meet
just like our eyes do once or twice
you smile at me
it's then the others intervene
cruel multitude
exerts its force
and we must recede
almost! almost!
the lover's cry
almost! almost!
all the lovers cry
and then you're right in front of me
(dreams are that way
they are their own self-evidence
we just obey)
surely a kiss is imminent
this curse will break
but then it ends and I am awake
almost! almost!
the lover's cry
almost! almost!
all the lovers cry
