Meanders on moon rivers

A broken  gramaphone  
needle stuck
on dust grooves
abandoned on a shelf
never visited
except by passing ghosts
 
creaks of loose floorboards
dried over time
trod on by none
except for gently settling dusts
cobwebs catching shapes  
settled delicate threads  
 
Meandering within  
boney fingers tracing  
words on dusty canvas
poking remembrance awake
to stale sepia sunlight
 
I wept
memories' montage
bouquets of poems
dedicated
I wept.
