This bolt of Adire on the Adeniran Ogunsanya floor
Still holds the heat from the afternoon sun
My hands are tracing the patterns we knew before
Trying to unpick the knot you tied last June

This blue bleeds into everything
[Bridge]

But what of the warp thread that was never there?
[Outro]
Indigo...
Just indigo hands...
