Rain taps rhythm on the taxi roof
Meter ticks off another cold proof
Copper foil waits on the artist's bench
Greenhouse glass holds a trembling clench
Solder flows like honey gold
Stories etched in lines they hold
Each fracture mapped with patient hand
Light finds purchase where cracks expand
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Trace the edge and feel the song
Where fractured light belongs
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Fare collected, wheels turn east
Dawn paints windshields gold and greased
Flux smells sharp in morning air
Grinder sings its steady prayer
Patina builds on copper seams
Time respects the artisan's dreams
Each fracture mapped with patient hand
Light finds purchase where cracks expand
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Trace the edge and feel the song
Where fractured light belongs
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Tomato vines climb cracked panes
Roots drink condensation rains
Prism shards throw rainbow maps
On workbench scars and solder gaps
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Trace the edge and feel the song
Where fractured light belongs
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Night shift ends, the meter sleeps
Artist wakes while city weeps
Hammond hums through taxi radio
Dub bass rolls soft and low
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Trace the edge and feel the song
Where fractured light belongs
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Greenhouse stands through storm and sun
Every crack a line well done
Taxi parks, the driver sees
Beauty built from broken keys
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Trace the edge and feel the song
Where fractured light belongs
Lead lines join the broken pieces
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Trace the edge and feel the song
Where fractured light belongs
Silver veins where darkness ceases
Fractured light finds where it belongs
