So moles are digging
Up the lawn
Creating holes in empty space and earth and dirt
And I with you love am
On a sheepskin rug
In Devon
In a cottage, holed by moles
In Devon,
Mystic land
And I am inside you
And your leg
Your thigh
Is burning
From log fire
Red and blue and white
Moles and woodsmoke
In Devon
In love
And everyone gone
But us two
And Louis Armstrong
What a wonderful world
Over and over the needle
Flows music to our ear-holes
In front of fire
On fire we are
On the rug
Sheepskin tickle
And if I knew
Your thigh was burning
I would have thrown
The young hard body of mine
Onto the fire to save you, love
To save forever this memory
And if I die
No matter
When you, happy
Take me
Inside you.
Life can, perhaps, be
Better
But no imagination
Nor Louis
Nor mole
May persuade me such
And you
And I
Love by
The fireside
