Ease for your travel, and seeds on the lawn for you
Worms in the kettle, and wax on the windowsill
Now till November, I'll listen and whistle
Warm weathered things sleep in the lilacs
The firefly blinks for the creatures to find him
Wake before dawn, and we'll sing of our dreaming
Bait on the awning, and bakery steaming
Taste the grain in the atmosphere
Do you remember I waited last year?
Nectar and biscuits are fragrant and free
Succor and cinnamon sway from the apple tree
Cradle my head in your musical modesty
Wait for the devil to do what he wants
Lay your eggs on the balcony
Stretch out your legs and we'll wait as a family
May your cage be the galaxy
Pastries and crackers arranged at your beak
Now until winter I'll always be whistling
Lifting the window, and counting the stars again
Call to my ears from the mouths of the pillowy
Lavender fields if you follow your heart
May thaws sesame waterfalls
Do you remember the bread that I brought for you?
Play from your breath a celestial song to me
Wait for the devil to do what he wants
