Track Insight / Lyrics

You hold a worn postcard tight Corners curled from subway light Quercus alba pressed in ink Roots drawn out in carbon link Three AM the platform breathes Tile walls wear mossy wreaths [Pre- Footsteps count like annual rings Each step down a season brings Taxus baccata shadows grow Where commuter winds once blew Platform roots drink steel and rain Chlorophyll in brake-dust stain You wait for trains that never come Germinate in sodium hum Taraxacum cracks the floor Life persists on platform floor Your fingers trace the venation Pin oak lobes in isolation INK dried brown like autumn soil Time suspended in the coil Turnstile clicks a metronome Rhizomes spread beneath the chrome [Pre- Footsteps count like annual rings Each step down a season brings Ginkgo biloba fans unfold In tunnels dark and never cold Platform roots drink steel and rain Chlorophyll in brake-dust stain You wait for trains that never come Germinate in sodium hum Taraxacum cracks the floor Life persists on platform floor A rat drags nest material Dried Poa annua seasonal You photograph the growth with eyes Catalogue the slow surprise MTA maps show root systems Transfer points as vascular rhythms Platform roots drink steel and rain Chlorophyll in brake-dust stain You wait for trains that never come Germinate in sodium hum Taraxacum cracks the floor Life persists on platform floor Postcard-addressed to a name You no longer speak or claim Sequoia sempervirens tall Grows in graffiti-covered wall Seed coat splits in vinyl seat Dormancy admits defeat Platform roots drink steel and rain Chlorophyll in brake-dust stain You wait for trains that never come Germinate in sodium hum Taraxacum cracks the floor Life persists on platform floor Dawn arrives on scheduled tracks Phloem sap in wire cables backs You pocket postcard like a seed Plant it where the station bleeds Fraxinus americana rises Through concrete cracks in slow surprises Platform roots drink steel and rain Chlorophyll in brake-dust stain You wait for trains that never come Germinate in sodium hum Taraxacum cracks the floor Life persists on platform floor Platform roots drink steel and rain You bloom beyond the turnstile chain Photosynthesis in dark Roots hold fast to platform bark
