Cassette rests on grey crushed stone
Twilight paints the shell unknown
Oxide ribs hold sleeping sound
Roots of noise beneath the ground
Ferro dormancy in gravel bed
Magnetic seeds wait to be read
Spring reverb in the dust and dark
Patient growth leaves its mark
Plastic hull like Quercus bark
Shields the spool from cold and dark
Magnetic layer dark and deep
Holds the songs in dormant sleep
Ferro dormancy in gravel bed
Magnetic seeds wait to be read
Spring reverb in the dust and dark
Patient growth leaves its mark
Gravel drains like sandy loam
Twilight brings the cooling gloam
Mycelium threads through plastic wall
Silica guards the recorded call
Capstan turns like rhizome slow
Pinch roller grips to help it grow
Signal flows through xylem wire
Phloem paths lift sound up higher
Ferro dormancy in gravel bed
Magnetic seeds wait to be read
Spring reverb in the dust and dark
Patient growth leaves its mark
Head reads oxide like a gene
Audio blooms from dormancy
Speakers fruit with seasonal song
Harvest lasts the whole night long
Ferro dormancy in gravel bed
Magnetic seeds wait to be read
Spring reverb in the dust and dark
Patient growth leaves its mark
Ferro dormancy breaks at last
Gravel gives up what it cast
