I dreamed last night that you had a horse no bigger than a dog
I held him to my torso
and I dreamed last night that we were still close
I could visit you and I could tell you all the stuff
that I thought about your horse and all your animals
before we found how hard it is to live a life apart
no, there's no bitterness
I'm glad for you and yours
the husband that I never met
and your imaginary horse
your horse was very tiny - a terrier of a foal
playful and familiar with me as with you all
with your cat and with your dog
your complete menagerie all ankle-high
running up to see me like they did years ago
before I left new york
before we found how hard it is to live a life apart
no, there's no bitterness
I'm glad for you and yours
the husband that I never met
and your imaginary horse
