One From the Pearlwood
life glitters on the lips of the swimmers
who kiss each other goodnight
cantelope ,brandy and sugarmint candy
add to their dancing delight
deep in the pearlwood the fairies
who feel good
circle the moon on the wing
under my pale hair
they know how I still care
I know by the songs that they sing
My carapace shivvers
coccoon gently quivers
as I spread dark wings to the stars
come with me I whisper
the moon is my sister
and the whole milky way
can be ours.
