Track Name: Kingfisher
Lyrics:

“Oh, I understand your halcyon days, dear kingfisher,”
I wanted to shout, but by now, my mouth was comet fodder.

I rubbed my eyes ’til they rusted to static -- like busted schematics.

I lulled the dryads ‘ til they lost their fantastic, like lust fed erratic.
Track Name: Lie Still, Monsters
Trade winds, listen:
your Atlantic hurricanes,
your Indian cyclones,
have broken leaves from their feet,
have riven levees and their keeps.

Heed, freezing westerlies:
your blind fingertips,
your snowlash eyelids,
will never read equator hymns,
so, so, so stay your selfish limbs.

Lie still, monsters.
