Darling, My Darling

Darling, my darling, look at my waving antennae
My barbed jaw and hard red pincers, the stripes running down my spine

Darling, my darling, watch me fly up in spirals
Admire the horns ’neath my eyes, the fan of my beautiful wings
I’ll give you everything

Darling, my darling, I bow my leg like a cello
I perch on branches and bellow, while dreaming only of thee
I’ll give you everything

Darling, my darling, down in the dew-dropped rushes
I beat my head in the darkness and build a fortress of tunnels

Darling, my darling, your snapping fangs don’t scare me
I’ll leap on your spine and love you till you gnaw me down to my wings
I’ll give you everything
