Track Insight / Lyrics

A retired sailor walks the midway path Where Quercus rubra drops its bronze crown The Ferris wheel sleeps in its iron bath No calliope sings its trembling sound [Pre- Roots remember what the tide forgot Salt crust dissolves in loam and rot He reads the rings in peeled bark script Each growth ring holds a sunken ship Feral Quercus claims the broken track Photosynthesis paints the faded back He tends the wild where cottonwoods grow A captain anchored in the undertow Acer saccharum flags the ticket gate Sugar maple bleeds its amber light He prunes the kudzu from the rusted grate Where roller coaster slept through winter night [Pre- Dormancy breaks in splintered wood Cambium sings where steel once stood He grafts his compass to a sapling limb True north now bends on chlorophyll hymn Feral Quercus claims the broken track Photosynthesis paints the faded back He tends the wild where cottonwoods grow A captain anchored in the undertow Betula papyrifera peels its skin Paper birch marks the funhouse mirror He watches lichen map where rust begins Time measured in a slower greener year Feral Quercus claims the broken track Photosynthesis paints the faded back He tends the wild where cottonwoods grow A captain anchored in the undertow Pinus strobus needles carpet dodgem cars White pine softens bumper car decay He counts the cones like navigation stars No latitude to guide his landlocked way Feral Quercus claims the broken track Photosynthesis paints the faded back He tends the wild where cottonwoods grow A captain anchored in the undertow Salix babylonica weeps the pond Willow drapes the swan boat's hollow hull He speaks in xylem phloem root and frond No ocean left but water pulls Feral Quercus claims the broken track Photosynthesis paints the faded back He tends the wild where cottonwoods grow A captain anchored in the undertow Rooted deep in autumn's quiet reign Feral Quercus drinks the rain
