Audio Clip Beads

I record memories

through audio files on the phone.

I string them together

as beads of conversation

that I wear to bed,

or out among the crowds.

I play each voice bead

until the words circle

around and around in my ear.

I use these video clips

to muffle out the world.

I place them with care

in a heart shaped jewelry box 

at the end of the night.
