A Dream in Black & White

A harbor town, just like this one, swept up in fog

the seagulls, ghosts emerging from the skies

 

the river glistens soft & wide,

the Cranes for now are sleeping giants

 

he kisses her, the anxious gun pressed tight

against his hand in his pocket

 

he is a dock worker

she is a seamstress

 

they're a black & white film

because technicolor here is impossible

 

he is you & she is me

we speak only in French

 

the kids on the block

will get you the next day.
