I dreamed I once lived in a stone
somewhere near the sea
and my voice had a clown’s tone
but there's no sound when I tried to scream

with a woman standing next to my cradle
I tried to memorise what she said
then her body moved into the shadow
and dropped a box on a table

I dreamed I was once a monkey
in the zoo next to my home
I was hungry and alone
with a weird pain in my bones

with a tree branch at the middle of my crate
I climbed to its top and wait
for the sun to go down so I can escape
this lonesome one day.

I dreamed of my friend dying
next to a light pole in the street
I dreamed of a group of children marching
in the city roads like an army

I dreamed of a bus driving
over people like they are ants
I dreamed of myself screaming
at a puddle in the rain
