We inaugurate the evening Just drumming up a little weirdness It gets late so early now The waves come in in mountain phases I'd see fire where it's not supposed to be I first saw her in a mega store The day-glow raven born into a free fall The fulfillment of a 10th grade prophecy A motel masterpiece Blind to the branching possibilities Teardrops were standing in my eyes Like deer before they bolt I adored the way she modified my mornings When I'd wake up in the calm shoals of her bed Somersaults or smoke in a universe of sleep Before she slipped into her heritage and disappeared And she taught me to relight, relight and relight again
