lyrics

Isla, I love your silent S
So sublime
Isla, a secret your name confesses
When it is read
Or written out instead
Or pictured in my head
Among the dreams and dreads

Though the word, when it is said
Is certain to except
The hiss the eye detects

There’s a sound you keep as a secret
Tucked sweetly away
A pearl in your oyster flesh
For all your days
And no sadness or worry
Can fill that space
