Track Insight / Lyrics

Morning dew on Pinus sylvestris needle Salt crust forms on Corten steel and rivet I whisper latin names to calm the beetle Time writes its record clear enough to read it Ferry horn cuts through the fog at dawn Telephone poles march past the treeline straight My hands are mapped with lines the salt has drawn Each crossing etches deeper into plate Salt and sap will write the final chapter Iron yields to resin, root, and needle No ceremony, no grand disaster Just quiet chemistry, patient, equal Mycorrhizal threads stitch broken ground Betula bark peels paper-thin and pale The deckhand's cough a dry and rattling sound I dose the soil with kelp and nitrate scale Salt and sap will write the final chapter Iron yields to resin, root, and needle No ceremony, no grand disaster Just quiet chemistry, patient, equal I count the rings in weathered timber piles I count the crossings logged in graphite lead Each season leaves its signature in aisles Each winter paints the hull a deeper red Propeller churns the kelp forest below Barnacles colonize the rudder blade The pines release their pollen, soft as snow No rescue comes for foundations slowly frayed Arctostaphylos hugs the cliffside tight Ericaceae thrive in acid, lean The ferry schedule holds through day and night Roots split the bedrock, patient, unseen Salt and sap will write the final chapter Iron yields to resin, root, and needle No ceremony, no grand disaster Just quiet chemistry, patient, equal Salt and sap remain when all is done Iron yields to resin, root, and needle Pine needles catch the evening wire hum Salt air writes its signature on steel
