From "An Eloquence of Time and Space".

lyrics

24.1 Time and the Rani

Rani means Queen
and a Queen is a Queen
with Green skinned work shifts
like Efalba in spades
digging your sand castle hives

Rani means Queen
and a Queen is a hive
with all your faces faltering
like a former best friend
wearing the clothes of your roommate

and Mel is a way
stinging the Bees with honey
and bitter belief
as you barter brain-stems

Rani means Queen
and a Queen is still a Bee
with all your hopeless buzzing
like a paper crown
wailing to the long truth of irrelevance
