recovery and frank sinatra
snow on telephone wires and fifteen years of weathering this winter. i cannot believe i have made it to this day, a future in advance, waiting to see which way this life unfolds. an old phonograph scratches at the record’s ends, static over roof tops, sound waves breaking through crescents of white. a wave through foam and bursting colours. i keep asking the same questions over and over and i guess that’s what keeps me living, trying to find the answer. is that what Jean meant when he said, who am i? without and within. music, piano fading so i flip the record. frank sinatra and i have learned a lot together. we know what happens when you fall in love, when you fall out, in between. we go together, him and i through these telephones and microphones and static, empty nights. outside it’s cold, enough that the table shakes with it even, the house trembling in the wind. we are fragile but somehow still standing if that is a miracle. someone left the door open and now everything’s come in. i don’t try to stop it anymore and they sit quiet, listen to the record play while the snow falls. in this way we have learned to wear the days together and now fifteen years later i am still standing, frank sinatra in my hand, before i sit and listen until i fall asleep.
Two for one today. Been trying to get this right and it’s still not perfect but neither am I. Here is Frank Sinatra’s It Was A Very Good Year. #acapella #jazz #franksinatra #baritone #quarantinegotmelike https://www.instagram.com/p/CEA05tWDxpM/?igshid=q6nsw58lhhyq
