Depart

(By Gub, the 20th of February, Toronto)

I had a dream
While you were sleeping
That the world was dead.

Aside from you
(And me) and
The things
In our heads;

Theo and Mia
And the houses
We loved and the kids
Staying over
And beaches
And barns
And camping in clover...

All safe from harm.

Safe in the story
The past
Our charm

To ward off
The warlocks
Keep evil
At bay

The unremembered
World dies
For sure

Recall the day.
