Quercus alba drinks the iron rain
Cathode glow paints platform numbers pale
Xylem pulls what rust cannot explain
Carrier wave rides the grounding rail

Frequency finds the fissure line
Mycorrhiza maps the copper spine
Oscillator hums in loam and lime
Signal roots where steel and soil entwine
Signal and soil speak the same old tongue
Morse code clicks where rhizomes have rung
Peeling paint reveals the strata young
Depot breathes in wavelengths left unsung
We tune the dark where both our worlds belong
Spark gap jumps the gap in mortar joints
Pinus sylvestris claims the bolted seams
Key clicks rhythm where the linseed points
Needle clusters parse the Morse code streams

Signal roots where steel and soil entwine
Signal and soil speak the same old tongue

Peeling paint reveals the strata young
Depot breathes in wavelengths left unsung
We tune the dark where both our worlds belong
Acer rubrum reads the timetable rust
Grid bias shifts with each passing train
Samara spins in eddies of the dust
Ground wave follows where the rails maintain
Semaphore and stomata trade their breath
Anode and apical share the gain
No translator needed for this path
Just patience measured in the falling rain
Static blooms and roots absorb the plain
Signal and soil speak the same old tongue
Morse code clicks where rhizomes have rung
Peeling paint reveals the strata young
Depot breathes in wavelengths left unsung
We tune the dark where both our worlds belong
Logbook entries sprout like epicormic shoots
Callus tissue forms on insulator caps
QSL cards pressed in herbarium boots
Frequency and flora close the gaps
Signal and soil speak the same old tongue
Morse code clicks where rhizomes have rung
Peeling paint reveals the strata young
Depot breathes in wavelengths left unsung
We tune the dark where both our worlds belong
Root and wave now sing the depot song
Static blooms on copper wire
Root reads signal wire reads root
