BOAT SINKING IN VINYL
Retro couch under yellow light
Dispute on a used vinyl
playing over delicate body pain
The house is falling apart
only a standing roof
Prosperity so soon granted
swiftly taken away
Guitar strings resonating with a busy anthill
70’s funk sounds over 21st Century blues
Ice cube melting in tears foam
Blood lyrics and fantasized melodies
Thanatos waiting disguised as Oneiroi
drink your dinner on crackling plates
A last sip
an open hand waiting for yours
Finally a thrill smelling like a broken chain
