Love

Records, spin in wild abandon,
slipped from quiet places.
Elvis or Buddy to delight
Car-boot special finds
at summer jaunts
where unwanted love is found
winters drum a heavy sum
thats rolled from
soft spring dew
where dreams once lived
until our winter comes
where fire and quick desire
simmers with the soup
and the clock that ticks
sings on her tired melody
and soft spring is no more.
