Day 291: New Music
∴
i must find new music.
my library is filled
with sounds of you,
and the songs
saturate the space
with silence.
i guess i’ll cut my losses.
i know
some tunes will keep like
sachet scents
that have been
hidden in drawers
and tucked under towels,
and they’ll waft in
from time to time
when i least expect it,
and i’ll let myself dance, then –
again –
with you,
or the you i knew,
until a breeze
takes the verse away –
blown back to yesterday –
and remembers me to a hush
once more.
