While the animals tremble,
                               stay with me.

I’ve heard them speak of this day

As I lay on lily-pads the colour of Eden.

Don’t put on that cloak.
                                    It’s not yet time.

First, I’ll bring you three-halves pear and pomelo.

We’ll watch the grenadine smoke blow
                                                    Across the pewter skies.

Don’t let’s sleep and think we dreamt this.

Stay with me and watch it burn
                                                     Let our pupils dilate.
Our hearts will save us
                              My heart.
