Is this the gesture with which I conquer you
or is it just my own hallucinations I'm seeing again
to infinity still yearning for warmth
and I want it to last until I wake up

So that I wouldn't close my eyes from you
who have come to love me
in spite of everything and these scars
that you bear that I'm ashamed to share (bear too)

Have we ever been apart since last time
that we travelled the faces of moon's crescent
without hearing, seeing their beauty
while we conversed with the world

And beside longing for something nameless
rose monuments made out of words
in their own time and it was well
until hair fell out in clumps

If I could get you to stand beside me still
full of hope am I too
and my gloves wet from snow proved
that I was there where these things
were dreamt about
