slipping into a wispy sundress of
smoke infused drinks to calm the nerves
which were set on fire by

a telephone call from
a number you've seen but don't know
a harsh dial tone surrounded by static
and all you hear is yourself breathing

do you think maybe that was it?
i do
telephones
like you put me on hold while you were engaged in a much more interesting call
maybe it was her calling from a sunset stricken somewhere else where you
wished you were like
paris or
bangalore or
anywhere but here

a long distance call to the heart reminding you
that you were late for your appointment with reality,
all while you were under me
but not under my spell

so i'll sip my sunset through my teeth
and let it settle on my tongue
when it'll get to my throat
but i won't choke
i will stand tall
in a wispy sundress of nerves
and take it.

go ahead,
answer the call
my head and my heart are suffering long distance separation issues
