You crown my ears
Like a small
Private halo
A ritual circle
That no one else can cross
The moment you click shut
The world dissolves
Streets blur into watercolor
Voices fall like broken feathers
Time folds its wings
You are my twin moons
Glowing on either side of my skull
Pulling the tides of my thoughts
Into calmer constellations
Every bass line is a heartbeat
You lend me
Every melody a doorway
You open in the dark
You turn chaos into smoke
Noise into ash
And me into something
Sharper
Quieter
More whole
You’re not just headphones
You’re the spell I wear
The shield I summon
The secret language
Only I can hear
My bestie
My orbit
My little myth of escape
My headphones
