lyrics

They are still awake, my love.
Playing banjos through loop stations,
electrifying southern bloodlines.

But where are you, my love?
I hear Arizona is a prison state;
I pray academia will shield you comfortably.

I scaled a mountain today, my love.
Watched clouds birth into the blue vastness
over seas of aspens and pines.

I returned to a letter from you, my love.
Altar parchment I’ve carried for over half a decade,
one-hundred-thousand miles and climbing.

Though tattered, I can still make out the memory
of young hearts. Tearingly, I realize, this world is hollow
without your breath of yin, my love…
