Last month Grandma told me
how it used to be that every
morning she’d turn on the record
player, how those albums kept her
company all day long.
Deafness took her music
though, favorite vinyl sold and
gifted. A house makes due.
But Grandpa died today,
and I’m left at the kitchen table,
listening to the midnight hush
of a record collection un-played,
aching to give it all back.
