Willow from Pearl Hunting by Emma Spinelli, Rúben Monteiro

Meet me when darkness falls and everyone’s asleep
I’ll be dressed up in shadows and red peonies
Breathe in this moist air, grey mosses and decaying leaves
The fragrance twilight brings

Willow cradles us from sight
In its branches secrets hide
Crickets sing their symphony
Take my hand and dance with me, my love

CHORUS
Eternal, infernal
The rapture I bestow
So crimson and so warm
You don't know what follows
The willow sees it all
The willow tells no one, no one

Baptized in molten silver underneath the stars
Behind the faint bells and chirring of nightjars
Reach out for flesh of yours while we watch as the moon ascends
I leave your straight neck bent

Slender branches swaying low
When I kiss you soft and slow
In these shadows, sweet and deep
You’re forever mine to keep

Bridge:
I whisper in your ear
No one will hear you here
No one can hear you here
So go and scream my dear
No one will hear you here
No one can hear you here
