Songs

I have been

collecting music

for years and years

from Queen and Led Zep

to Paul Simon and Juluka,

(picking up

coloured bottles and seashells

from a friend here

lover there)

old spirits, they surround me

comforting, familiar

encouraging, sympathising,

enlightening and

everpresent

in my mind

(broken faded tunes

here and there

gathered

bits of the past trailing behind

clinging to clothes

stale cigarette smoke

campfire

splashy fens lost and found)

playing themselves

over and over

on the turntable

in my head

(bits and pieces remembered

collected over the years

a collage of love and hate

everchanging

growing

fading

patched)

reminding me they are

always there

(a favourite old blanket

on a cold morning)
