Pieces from OK, BELOVEDS by Team Bright

Pieces

We can tune you up so high
pull you tauter than you’ve ever been wound by far
yes, it feels like stretching to the sky
but you’re the bloom of the rosewood, the mandora heart

We know you’ve been unraveled
Your intricate tapestry ravaged
Your warp and your weft have been pulled apart
to stop the song in your rosy heart

But your music sings in saffron finches’ wings
you’re a plaything, a harp string, a sweetwater spring
with your coral chest, and your hidden broken nest,
you’re the thief of the strawberry heart in our breast

We know you’ve been in pieces, we know you’ve been in pieces
But we must ask you to believe you are our pieces

Could you believe that you’re our pieces?
And we’ll weave you back together, our love
Using nothing but the power of our love
in the perfect pattern flowers of our love

In thistle tufts of your perfect secret love
you hold the heart of palace, a flowering sun
in the folds of your deepest velvet hold
you hang the throne room with lupines and sweet marigolds

You’ve been beaten and stonewashed in icy whitewaters dashing
to get the indigo in you to hold the light everlasting

now you’re lightfast dear darling
lapis blue like a marlin
you love us loud as a thunderclap
you’ll make our music til you fade to black
