The Old Signifiers

>

And so you listen to dead music, sung by someone no longer singing,
Listen to pre-taped in-jokes in the podcast on your drive home,
Watch them loving each other slavishly

And despite having all the things that used to mean you are loved;
Music, laughter, naked bodies

Your soul feels bereft, you are covered in ghosts.
