Little Rabbit wakes to a strange future to which context is given by Killer Whale. She catches faint glimpses of an exalted past and struggles to grasp the present, still sensing the shared mission, which here becomes to breaking the cycles found within one unbroken life unbounded by space. She catches shards of memories and reels as they expand.

lyrics

Killer Whale: This one life bore a myth all its own
And the myth bore the mystery
Whoever found it, all would follow
As if it was their own

Several years before the severance of time
When the screens sieved the body from the mind
She found it, and they followed
But the changes had their day

In the palm of my hand
Right here

universe melts and facets
Dark ages and shining moments

Little Rabbit: I stood between two universes
Didn’t belong to either one anymore
Alone floating in the space where we let ourselves go
Ain’t I a ghost if no one sees me, what could be
If only . . .

Killer Whale: Death lost in order of fear and desire
when satisfied wanted to know
what lies beyond the edge

form lost in order to push through the prism
they wanted to feel the bones lying in the earth again

Little Rabbit: killer whale
what is it like out there?
will I even know
when the end comes
flowers
bending towards the glow
wanted to feel the sun warm their hearts again

Killer Whale: Return to life!
Was it hard to take the hardening of space
Did you understand Why?

Return to life!
I see your broken hands taking form in mine
Did it devastate being made to take
Your place again in endless life?
Endless life from a boundless light

Little Rabbit: Will I ever, will I ever, will I ever know?

If I found it, would they follow
Or leave me to strike out alone—
To feel the earth again?

Now memory’s trodden-down strawberries
There’s only this I see—remembering phosphenes
Clouds on the cobblestones
And the light forms
The towering vine
The waking dream
Of endless life from boundless light
Boundless light from endless life . . .
