Story behind the song
In my affair with the Kali woman she wanted such complete fusion that we would both be annihilated. Thinking of Tane and the groans of Papa and Rangi being pushed apart by the great Kauri Tree of Tane I reflected on the dilemma of sexual fusion and mortality told in the story of Maui being crushed in Hine's vagina.
Lyrics
You say we should comingle
so intimately, the separation
of sky and earth would be reunited
in our primal fusion.
But you bridle for a freedom
so elusive, so boundless
we would both become
lost, even to ourselves.
Caught between life and death
we know no final unravelling
but the essential immortal, entangled loom
of nature's hour of splendour in the grass of love.
So my dew, my myrrh on the lock,
in the, fullness, of our differences
let's push the sky so gently
just far enough from earth
That we can roll, like the thunder...
under the covers of our love,
that in our comingling, ...
our all-too - restless offspring
who struggle in the night
and wrestle to see the light
who fall in love at first sight
may also come to pass their time
of splendour under the fronds of love.
You say we shouldn't linger
in the throes of our final rapture.
Don't tell me that the dance is over
long before it has even begun.
