courtesy call
she doesn’t want to talk
I can relate
and the other one
can’t hear too well
& doesn’t understand me
it was a short conversation
and somewhat irrelevant
just checking in I say
as if I’ve nothing left to do
the night becomes quiet
a sneaky suspicion
comes & goes as it wishes
like a dormouse in the pantry
I keep telling myself
no news is good news
as long as the fire burns itself out
and the living
keep on breathing
january two thousand twenty-two

I like this, it reminds me of those phone calls we need to make, but not sure who cares if we do (well in my world anyway 🙂 )
i love the last paragraph it sums it up perfect for me
TakeCare, You Matter…
