Let Your Body

Let your body Let your body In the dark of night Steal roses on the way home Draw the baths Let your body And pour the milk of olives and salt Salt from the sea Let your body In slowly, glorious One leg goes first An offering Let your body And woman, untie your scarf Let your hair fall With your clothes Let your body In the single flame, in the velvet falls Floating Floating in the suburbs Let your body The steam rises Around your face As you lie In candlelight Everything feels close Everyone feels close Everybody's faces are smiling at you Everything feels close Everyone feels close Everybody's faces are smiling at you Everything feels close Everything feels close Everyone feels close
