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.
