numbers dialed by enraged fingers
and we find you
shaking
on the receiver
clutching
your fingers
to the receiver
you hear me speak
unheard words
on the receiver
your ears ringing
inner dialogue
you say
“i love you”
with a nod and a
smile
conversation
his voice in the background
overheard comments
feeling
unfeeling
coldness
in the bed
