Music comes back
In solitude

"a guide for those
new
to living alone"

Ears go from cancelling out
To craving

It's the quiet
**** it

At first
Then u remember

Listening
And Listen in

See yourself
Rapt

Double cover
In your hands

Broken cellophane
On the floor

Record playing
Diamond needle

Mainlining someone else's
Experience

Then
When I'd had none

Alone
I was with music

And writing
Now

Find yourself
Rapt

Cell phone
in your hands

Open Sonos box
On the floor

It's not
As loud

Or
So big

And
I sing

More boldly
Along
