the smell of vinyl

To be honest

It’s an echo

Silent echo

of a howl

Owlet howl

double yearning

Hong Kong longer

Expirations

Gotta wanchya

Like an album

Slide you out

An’ put you on

God I miss

the smell of vinyl

Diamond stylus

Cut her groove

Dust brush static

Black as love

Velvet wipe

The record cleaner

Lux your surface

As you spin

Thirty three times

Every minute

there’s a banshee

In your shellac

There’s transgression

In your crackle

There’s a whirlpool

At your whim

Scratch your broken

Hypno rhythms

Burn my loins

And flush my skin

Revolutions 

Drown me naiad 

an your perfume

Lulls me in.
