she is
a blurred polaroid
taken by shaky hands
and nervous grins

she is
a record player
spun
twirled
scratched
left to dust

they are
cassette tapes
which once were
neat black ribbon
cased in clear
plastic
now they are opened

unraveled
unknowingly vulnerable

we are
woven tapestries
frayed at the edges
which once were
golden strings tightened and pricked
now we are nothing
but a heap of wool
and twine

she is
a square picture
tinted in sepia

she is
a radio
blasting noise
scratchy voices
repeating verses
omens of storms
