Lyrics
The Hallicrafters S-38 hums on the Formica counter.
It’s Tuesday night, 11:17, he’s been there since the thaw.
He lets the invasive static vine around the kitchen rafters,
The green glow of the dial, a weak phosphorous law.
[Chorus]
He's just tuning the perennials,
The silent frequencies that bloom inside the wall.
Just tuning the perennials,

He whispers "Ammon," then he clears his throat, a cough to realign
The quiet that he’s grafted to the marrow of his bone.
[Outro]
The dial light passes through a single mote of dust.
And for a second, it's enough.
