When I was very young my father found my mother

Lying naked in bed with another woman

This shattered him and we went to live

In the House of the Seven Dreams

Before I continue let me explain that in our language

A dream is another name for an aunt

My disgraced mother had seven sisters

Who all lived together on a huge estate

It should not have worked but it did work

And the sisters became very cultured and wealthy

The only sadness was that my father had sailed away

To live on another island within the archipelago

L'île rose was so named due to the colour of the soil 

When I was fifteen years old I was made the eighth dream

Which gave me the power to reconcile my errant parents

They now live together with their small dogs

Within an hour of the imagined parameters of my holy city
