Perth, Western Australia

Louder than sirens, louder than bells, sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell. I have allowed my family to scatter, All my dear ones are dispersed. A life-long loneliness Fills nature and my heart, And here I am with you, in a small house. Outside, the forest is unpeopled like a desert. As in the song, the drives and footpaths Are almost overgrown. The log walls are sad, Having only us two to gaze at. But we never undertook to leap the barriers. We will perish honestly. At one o'clock we shall sit down to table, At three we shall rise, I with my book, you with your embroidery. At dawn we shan't remember What time we stopped kissing. Leaves, rustle and spill yourselves Ever more splen
