Lyrics
The yunomi you dropped from the Marukai bag
Shattered on the linoleum, a map of bad luck.
“Just toss it,” you muttered, turning back to the score,
But the pieces felt cool in my palm, just past four.
[Chorus]
So you can keep your perfect, keep your clean straight line.

I’m filling all the fractures with a golden seam of mine.
[Bridge]
Not broken.
Not fixed.
Just changed.
Just this.
[Outro]
The gold dust tastes like metal on my tongue,
A different kind of whole, a different song sung.
