"Good night Irene"

Sung the singer
from my grandfather's
...gleaming mahogany
Victrola, drifting
over me in the warm
summer sleep-over night
listening, there on the green
carpet, velvet against
my grinning cheek
pleasure saturated
filled
with the song I thought
had been written just for my mother
and played just for me
