SILENCE...

Quinton Margolis sits alone

 head down, knees up

 in his tattered dingy arm-chair

 cold hardwood floor

 wintertime, trees bare

 spinning crackly Ledbetter platters

 Huddie with his stove pipe arms

 sings vibrantly in cotton field lorn

the door creaks

 the sound of two feet

 quietly entering the room unnoticed

 Quinton lost in thought

 tapping his knee to the rhythms

 of his tangled misty mind

 oblivious to the needle skipping

 or the two feet approaching

 faceless feet, eyes meet

 Quinton says nothing...
