Dispersion Song by Seán Hewitt

O hoverfly and gnat and aphid,
stitched music of the sallow plough.

Mosquitoes, draw out my blood
for him. Make me a cloud of wings.

O insects, knitting a song for him
in the sways of the sycamore dark,

lay your veil across my head.
Marry me. I am a bride for you tonight.
