lyrics

Everything beautiful has edges
The safe boundary of ribboned love
The wish for continuity
Not to live the unbidden life
to stop by a field of grace
And regret you lost the key
To unlatch yourself at evening .

Everything beautiful has edges
The lady of Shalott
In her loveless tower
Unravelled by desire
Her prediction of demise
The wish for an embroidered life
A symmetry of stitches
Of light and shadow
The salvaging of closure .

Everything beautiful has edges
This page this table this room
Each a space of opportunity
This hand bounded by skin
Meeting surface of wood
Even the sea, phantom with azure
Has somewhere an edge
Somewhere a return
Somewhere surely an ending .
