Gunslinger boots on icy clay
Quercus roots show him the way
Twin suns paint the alley gold
Stories written in the cold
Salix weeps beside his track
Healing grows where footsteps crack
Twin suns on the cobblestone
Light reflects where seeds are sown
Botanist reads the gunman heart
Winter draws the roots apart
Patience waits in frozen ground
Twin suns spin the world around
Artemisia guards his heavy coat
Bitter medicine he once wrote
Pinus needles mark his winding trail
Silent prayer in the winter gale
Deep roots remember every hand
Healing spreads across the frozen land
Twin suns on the cobblestone
Light reflects where seeds are sown
Botanist reads the gunman heart
Winter draws the roots apart
Patience waits in frozen ground
Twin suns spin the world around
Crystallized breath on pistol grip
Botany in fellowship
Betula bark peels white as bone
Secrets only roots have known
Gunslinger kneels in frozen dirt
Life returns where death asserted
Twin suns on the cobblestone
Light reflects where seeds are sown
Botanist reads the gunman heart
Winter draws the roots apart
Patience waits in frozen ground
Twin suns spin the world around
Long years of smoke and leaden rain
Now he tends the new growth again
Rosmarinus for memory
Salvia for what used to be
Each latin name a suture thread
Binding living to the dead
Twin suns on the cobblestone
Light reflects where seeds are sown
Botanist reads the gunman heart
Winter draws the roots apart
Patience waits in frozen ground
Twin suns spin the world around
Spring will come to the alley stone
But still he walks the path alone
Twin suns set on the winter's reign
Botanist tends the growth and pain
Roots hold fast through every season
Gunslinger finds his own reason
In the hush between the suns
Roots and barrels become one
No more targets only growth
Winter yields to spring's slow oath
Patience blooms in frozen clay
Twin suns guide the wanderer's way
Twin suns on the cobblestone
Light reflects where seeds are sown
Botanist reads the gunman heart
Winter draws the roots apart
Patience waits in frozen ground
Twin suns spin the world around
Twin suns fade on cobblestone
Botanist walks the path alone
