Abbey Scrolls

lyrics

v1
Rabbits, riding horses,
tending gardens,
eating hearty stews.

In their velvet garments,
head of goat speaks
to a head of deer.

Dancers, twist and bend to
ancient music
played on twisted guts.

These scenes exist only
in the deep pools
of my memory.

c
Fading daylight casts a meager glow,
tallow candles light up silver cups.
Careful letters lined up in a row,
mystic creatures bless the page.

v2
Gold leaf, paired with lapis,
makes the page worth
more than 40 sheep.

Toil, on the parchment,
no mistakes can
bruise its tender skin.

Coax the rigid letters
to perfection
with a a sharpened quill.

Lay out holy words for
monks and peasants
open to receive.
