Long distance calls My words try to hold you when my arms can’t. Even clichés are as strong as steel when a tired script is collapsing. From far across the world your voice sends me gravel from a goose feather tongue dripping with honey but tasting of truth. Your photo on the wall is tilted now and a large grey moth died inside the glass frame. The afternoon sun disappears like corn kernels from a devoured cob, just an empty core left to throw away. There will be a knock on the door soon and I will let them in again to stay.
