Track Insight / Lyrics

You stand beneath the Herengracht arch Rain writes on vellum, ink unstarched Sphagnum cushions brick where mortar fails Bryum capillare drinks the gales Amsterdam moss holds the letter fast Winter fog binds what the rain has cast Roots read the words that the post forgot Soil keeps the secret the ink has caught You trace the script with thumb, damp and slow Latin names for grief you've come to know Carex acuta sings in ditch water Juncus effusus holds each daughter Amsterdam moss holds the letter fast Winter fog binds what the rain has cast Roots read the words that the post forgot Soil keeps the secret the ink has caught Envelope dissolves to pulp and peat Address erased by canal street Polytrichum coats the folded seam Marchantia maps a forgotten dream Fog lifts like steam from compost heap You pocket pulp, a root to keep No postmark stamps this silent trade Only moss knows what the letter weighed Cobblestones drink the final drop Taxus baccata guards the shop You walk where elm and alder lean Betula pendula, silver-green Amsterdam moss holds the letter fast Winter fog binds what the rain has cast Roots read the words that the post forgot Soil keeps the secret the ink has caught Dawn breaks pale on Oudezijds wall Letter lives in root and fungal sprawl You read the soil like manuscript Every spore a word, every rot a gift Amsterdam moss holds the letter fast Winter fog binds what the rain has cast Roots read the words that the post forgot Soil keeps the secret the ink has caught Moss keeps the secret the ink has caught You plant the page where rhododendrons grow Paper becomes what the roots already know
