Lyrics
Hey, it's... sorry, it's almost three. The WSDOT foghorn just moaned on the water.
My left hand is tracing the pale linen line on my knee,
the one from the oyster shell, skipping rocks off Guemes Island.

Now every frayed edge is threaded with gold.
[Outro]

This body tells truth. Please, call me back.
