Lyrics:

We speak in glances, 
us the light caught 
in broken glass: 
I your redshift 

ocean and you my azure 
desert. We trade secrets 
in the space between 
our days, the rotation 

of the night. 

You have said to me 
that the brightness 
by your side was born 
of the quietude 

we built of our shards 
and I wonder, often, at 
the glass that litters my 
mounts: their glimmer 

so rare. 

one day we shall meet, 
long from now, oh 
sister/brother, may we outshine 
these stars and see 

each other. 

The time will pass quickly 
before me you martyr 

but for now, let us watch 
this, the night, shatter
