round and round

seated on the gramophone

thin lines under the needle

a slim vision into endless symphony

on worn vinyl and oak tree

pleased to play true melodies

on timeless templated trails

simple phrases on my noonday tongue

over and over till it runs out of muse

and through the ears of another

falls short of a siren's song

a cage of vivid desire not so easily shaken

everything i have yet to say

has given its life to frail frames

deconstruct my appendicular strains

and build an illusion of what you want me to be

raise my needle

and i'll pour out what you choose

    I must admit I was initially drawn to your image and zoomed in to see all those good records, then I was captured by your words and whisked away to where they took me.
