When the silence came
Nobody was there,
Nobody to hear the silence
...
You were part of something
I never wanted,
Part of someone
I never met
...
Elephants in a tender embrace
Thoughts about the wild hills
That overlook the sunny plains.
...
You drank all the moonlight
And left us with just stars;
...
All over France
There was a dream,
It started, like all dreams
From one man.
...
It is a ship that no longer answers,
No matter how much you call it,
No matter how much its name
Is never spoken but in grace.
...
At the grave of a child
You stop to read
The inscription,
And you cross your heart
...
I only knew it from hearsay
From what people told me
In the streets of broken bones.
...
