lyrics

For my first decade on the isle
I figured I'd
stake my claim
and take some time to pick a name
One that reflects this place
just like the sea reflects the sky

I'd tick my time off on the trees
a sharpened stone to mark upon the bark
distracted in the act of counting them
three thousand at a time

like a cubit
only pyramid-sized

My second decade in exile
I took to ruling every grain of sand
I'd clench my fist and watch as
handfuls of my minions sift away

hourglass-like
or a drip in a drain

My third decade upon the isle
I finally
could accurately calculate
how long it'd take
to wait in place
until the world revolved around me
for a change

My final day
I realized I'd named this island after you
