"The Venetian's Wife"

"To the rhythm of our blood
  To the rhythm of our blood
  Drumming, Drumming,
  To the rhythm of our blood.
  Rain beating on my back,
  water running round your thigh
  to the rhythm
  to the rhythm of our blood.
  Climbing, Falling,
  through the drumming of the rain
  to the echoes of our blood."

  -from Nick Bantok's "the venetian's wife p.124"
