lyrics

The clouds are piled like turrets formed of gold,
The silver water slides along the quay;
My morning body against your sleeping thigh,
The heron darts down from the moving tree.

Pale zebra-fish and green and purple wrasse
Trace rivulets of pattern on your arm
And incandescent colourings of delight
Break like defeated waves upon your calm.

Our love is like the water as it flows
Through channels to a landing-place unknown;
It imitates the starling as it glows
And brings forth all the glory in the bone.
