THAT CALL

THAT CALL

She was on the other end

Listening to my jittery voice

Spelling out

“The doctor said my chances were good”

2%

Only die

And that heart by - passes was almost routine

Nowadays

Well something like that

Her nervous voice agreed.

I was facing into the dark

And digging into myself

For some light

And making my first call

On my first mobile phone.
