“This is the truth. My family comes from a long line of women whose heartbeats sound like a needle run out of vinyl.”

“I replicated those intimate memorials
of rigor and grits with my own hands,
now leaning over a casket to straighten
the lapel on Shawn's black suit and red
tie whisper his name in psalm”
― Yolanda J. Franklin, Blood Vinyls
