Beaux Rêves

 Beaux Rêves

(for Paul Bettany 

as Dustfinger in 'Inkheart')


The room was familiar

I had been there before

In a previous dream

Now I'd come back for more

I remembered your face

Though I had lost your name

I'd forgotten the rules

And the point of your game

The steps of the dance now

A mystery to me

Though I'd once known them all

Someone's stolen the key

Every egress is barred

The door shut, windows closed

There can be no escape

From the questions now posed
