elvis saves?

listening to old love songs to feel something more
than
the slow

thinning of my soul


this dissolution into dust
goes on

and


on


some days
minutes grow long as years go by in a blink


My soul feels crinkly
like used cellophane
wrinkled and stained

"We're caught in a trap,"


elvis screams "I can't walk out,
because I love you too much baby."
