The call. 20180211.
I see you in your pictures every now and then.
They seem to want to say so much.
It's likely I couldn't hear it anyway
So I don't ask, you don't say
But some people have a space in your head
Reserved; you unintentionally fill up.
It's where I keep these pictures whether or not we talk.
They still say nothing, just want to.
Today is the 1st.
I know I was to call you at the start of the day
But I didn't want to be the first.
That is for somebody else so I waited.
Now five hours later the morning has come,
It woke me up with an expected urgency.
I find you on my phone with a blank log
The last call, this day last year probably.
I press call and the dial tone is nostalgic.
