HER CALL

There is a song

I can barely recall

that I hear every now and again.

It pulls me

calls me closer

and every time I try to escape,

it stops

the singer taking breath

then begins again

all the stronger.

It is a song I try to ignore

and have succeeded with

so far.

But someday soon

I know

I'll go to it

rub against the speakers

dance to its wicked verse

its rugged rhythm.

I will become slave to the song

again

and then

I'll have succumbed to the rock.
