I want you to mount my shores,
rustle me with the hot wind
of your breath,
adore every imperfection in my form,
as though knocking at my door with your eyes.Serve me hot tea,
a biscuit with honey on the side,
and I'll serve you from the depths
of my soul,
I will give you everything,
after you have gone.
