lyrics

You have made your house a haven

A thickly forested grove

Routinely misted, watered, cared for

As shoots and roots stretch and shiver and grow
You drop the tone arm on your vinyl

Hear the static scratch before it bursts into life

Bathe the flora in heady pools of sound

Allow them to bask in the street’s gentle light

Feed their souls as you feed yours
As I feed mine.

This room here is a safe space

A micro-climate of peace
Our every movement is surrounded

By the gentle breath of living things.
We add our voices to the chorus

Soaking in the sun
Relishing in the soft sigh of sheets on skin

Of stifled moans

Of bodies that move
As one.
