'Sophia'

Homing beacon, find me in the dark

I'm smaller even than the sum of all my quarks

Silver day

I'm your prodigal runaway

Shelter lowly

Rainbow streaks above an alleyway

I'll wait until my signals change

My mercy seat, a stumbling beat

Making progress, then drowning at the watermark

My carbon process, my sinking, sleepy ark

Silver day

I'm your prodigal runaway

Shelter lowly

Rainbow streaks above an alleyway

I'll wait until my signals change

My mercy seat, a stumbling beat

Shadow clinging to a paper chain

What do you feel there is to gain

Some sudden day? You shouldn't complain

Little vapor
