He's just landed in Perth, while she's stateside, visiting home... they are tethered to one another by pillows and telephones. He has just disembarked another plane, and along with his crew of passenger air transport soldiers, he marches off to his temporary home. He reconnects with his love, now that he is grounded, through signals sent across the night sky. She is once again in his ear, as her laughter brings him ease of mind...and their ritual can begin. He switches to a language that is unrecognizable by his crew, it is French this time, and the telling of her favorite lullaby ensues. She smiles, as her lids say goodbye to day, with the tone of his voice dropping kisses tenderly in her ear, phonetic fairies dance the samba on her pillow as love enters her empty space and the sadness disappears.
