I got lost in a dream last night

Twirling through Russia’s tunnels and lights

Watching snow fall up

As if the world turned sour and heaven wanted it’s

Angels back.

---

You appeared in this dream as a snowdrop

And as I caught you in an ice grey hand

You melted, features twisting, distorting

Whilst you seeped through my fingers

To freeze on the ground below.

---

Misshapen you smiled up at me

Catching my frozen tears on your cheeks

And whispered,

‘You know I’ve set you free’
