“The Dreamer to Her Adversary”

- Give me an adventure
…please.
Among flying bullets,
among a forest of trees,
or dancing bears.
I am hungry.
I’ll not be too picky.
Just give me my adventure!

- Are you still hungry for adventure?
Do you still thirst for death?
What made you think that you could win,
young Dreamer?
I’ve worn you down to nothing,
I’ve slain all your kin,
I have all but conquered;
a Dreamer can only save a Dreamer’s skin.

- I am exhausted, yes
and, yes, you’ve worn me down,
but you’ve also made the adrenaline flow
and you’ve made my heart pound
Who says that I have lost?
You’ve given me everything I’ve asked.
I took everything you threw.
I haven’t given up,
and neither, I fear, have you.
