Track Insight / Lyrics

I catalog the Datura bloom White trumpets in the gathering gloom Children dressed as ghosts and witches pass My quadrat marks the candy grass Shadows slip through autumn mist Sodium lamps glow amber-kissed Trick-or-treat feet on root and stone Seeds of fear in soil are sown Pumpkin vine curls round the storm drain pipe Cucurbita peaks at moonlit night Anthocyanin turns the leaves to flame Each costume is a scientific name Shadows slip through autumn mist Sodium lamps glow amber-kissed Trick-or-treat feet on root and stone Seeds of fear in soil are sown Mist rolls in like sporangia dust Hyphae spread where streetlights rust I speak Latin to the sugar maple Its xylem drinks the candy apple The veil is thin, the soil remembers Carbon cycles, November embers Every skeleton was once a seed Decomposition feeds the need Roots embrace both bone and candy Shadows slip through autumn mist Sodium lamps glow amber-kissed Trick-or-treat feet on root and stone Seeds of fear in soil are sown Witch hazel blooms where costumed crowds convene Hamamelis, yellow, strange, serene I take my notes in systematic script Each ghost a data point, cryptic, clipped Shadows slip through autumn mist Sodium lamps glow amber-kissed Trick-or-treat feet on root and stone Seeds of fear in soil are sown Dawn approaches, mist begins to lift Chlorophyll returns, the shadows drift But in the herbarium, pressed and dry Halloween specimens testify Shadows slip through autumn mist Sodium lamps glow amber-kissed Trick-or-treat feet on root and stone Seeds of fear in soil are sown Nightshade hours claim the throne Sodium fades, the data's clear Next October, I'll be here
