Here we have a small digital relic recovered from an old version of the official sparklehorse.com website circa 2001. The words, surely Mark’s…

“Here is the jewelry was lost in the sand
Long player is dripping in the smokehouse
Check for typhoid
More burning of roses
People lent me their inside
For you and your little yellow birds
Dragged by chains up a mountain high
Some flew, some died
Hypnotized myself in a stream
For your gentle smiles and pointy teeth
May your winter shade be sweet and float on the lakes”
