Track Insight / Lyrics
She wipes the counter with a rag worn thin
Taxodium distichum knees drink the tide
Her apron stained with coffee, grease, and time
Roots hold fast where flood waters hide
Sarracenia stands, rooted, patient
Time dissolves in enzyme light
Pitcher mouth waits, elegant, ancient
Bayou dusk swallows the night
Drosera droplets on her fingertip
Sundew sticky with the tips she earns
No rush to bloom, no need to equip
Slow metabolism, each lesson learns
Sarracenia stands, rooted, patient
Time dissolves in enzyme light
Pitcher mouth waits, elegant, ancient
Bayou dusk swallows the night
Spanish moss drapes like lichen on bark
Tillandsia usneoides, air-fed, free
She watches gators trace a silent mark
Photosynthesis in reverse, she sees
Sarracenia stands, rooted, patient
Time dissolves in enzyme light
Pitcher mouth waits, elegant, ancient
Bayou dusk swallows the night
Mycorrhizal threads beneath the floor
Connect the booth, the kitchen, porch swing
She knows the rhythm of each daily spore
Dormancy broken when regulars sing
No showy flower, no fragrant display
Just modified leaf, a perfect trap
She holds the dark in a quiet way
Adaptation bridging every gap
Last customer pays, screen door slaps shut
Venus flytrap snaps in her mind's eye
She locks the register, foot on the gut
Nepenthes dreams beneath the sky
Sarracenia stands, rooted, patient
Time dissolves in enzyme light
Pitcher mouth waits, elegant, ancient
Bayou dusk swallows the night
Final chorus swells — she owns the night
Nylon strings fade in peat-rich soil
Roots drink deep where the black waters coil
