lyrics

held together by ribbons of light

i remember it like it was
draped on my shoulders
acoustic dewdrops
light on the forest floor
ivory and ebony
a synapse
an electric arc

held together by ribbons of light

i remember it like it was
reindeer

like it was
woodgrain

like it was gliding somewhere far out to sea

the sun
the sun

(yesterday)
