a sly comfort phoned
in the afternoon
—how’s it goin’
a vague sense of loss phones
in the morning | mouthful of toothpaste
—where’ya been?
the air calls at lunchtime | the air
is in the middle of things
—did you get my message?
a dream phones in the night
a dreamer answers | a sleeper
—you won’t remember this
in the dream | a phone
I answer | hello
—I had this dream last night
