waiting for a phone call
its funny the way we women are so at the mercy of these things
and so much life gets lived in the space between those
anticipated phone calls.
Then again, the vigil in my life only lasts so long
before I don't care any longer about you
and your phone call.
At least I get the house clean, the plants watered,
the dog walked, the novel written, the run in,
the yoga practiced, the lecture prepped, the
book read, the friends visited, the good cheer
spread, the shopping done, and all of those
things that sometimes seem as though they
are done simply to fill the space
between those phone calls.
Oh its just you. You were not who I was thinking of anymore.
****
note to self -- this is a good one in the making, revisit in the future.

The phone doesn't ring here very often....sometimes too much time....in-between....
