Burning the Baldwin Street House (a dreamwalk)
by Alison McKenzieYou came to me in a dream
And told me that you'd never loved me,
That you'd only used me.
Your long hair was short,
Your face wider, and more aged.
It didn't taste too bad,
That bitter medicine.
I took it like a person
Who no longer needed a remedy.
