I dreamt of
Electric horses
Burning across the sky
Over melting clocks
On midnight beats,
With sleeping angels
And broken demons
In ancient cafes and
Whiskey bars.

Over rivers of steel
And bitumen streets
And wells and silos
And neon signs;
Where the heart
Of the world
Beats deep in
The brown earth
Waiting for our
Better souls
To rise.

I dreamt of
Melting clocks
And dripping time
Over jazz bars
And music halls
And prisons
And laundromats,
Sleeping babies
And sad old men.

I dreamt of
Electric horses
Flying over
Desert bonfires
And country
Haystacks
And grandmothers
Gathered around
Fireplaces
And lonely men
On oil rigs
In a bitter cold
Northern sea,
And shamans
And witch doctors
And bleached bones
On red Sahara sand.

I dreamt of love
And salvation
And redemption
And the transcendence
Of our better souls
In a time when
The earth was
Green again,
And we lived
In innocence
Like children.

I flew with
The dreams
Of the world,
While electric horses
Burned across the sky.
