The vinyl single

The vinyl single features
A man with greying beard
Dark eyes
Sitting on a staircase
We look up to the record player
Which like sinewy smoke
Offers the song
The vinyl single photo shifts
A bit as though
The grey has set in further
Or the eyes have
Caught ours
The song has begun to
Haunt
With its tone and chant
Its roaming cadence
We’ve sunken deep into the
Carpet
And the vinyl vibrates
Floats
And
Drops on our noses
