Villanelle: Remembering Not to Call by Michael R. Burch (a villanelle permitting mourning, for my mother, Christine Ena Burch) The hardest thing of all, after telling her everything, is remembering not to call. Now the phone hanging on the wall will never announce her ring: the hardest thing of all for children, however tall. And the hardest thing this spring will be remembering not to...

/em>Over breakfast, pouring coffee, buttering toast, the phone rings, I answer. It is her sister, she's weeping --- father dead. Looking across the table at her, I recall last night, restless words, words spoken as she slept. This morning those dreams seem to have been clouds taking shape before a storm, a Greek chorus reciting elemental spells, cast against the coming of the day./em>...

Phantom Phone Call All Hallows Eve quickly approaches With tales of crypts and ghostly coaches When haunting spirits again roam To sounds of chains and dirges of moans. Amid this eerie spine-chilling time Beloved mother prepares to die Fragile link between Heaven and earth Suddenly splits in her rebirth. One final breath, one final sigh, One final smile from her blue eyes Now at midnight her...

I am depressed, stressed, anxious, she said. I advised her to help someone else. There is no better way to lighten your load She claimed it would not work Without trying it I had no time left to listen to her whining I had children to play with, and lunch to cook. Get a dog or a cat, I advised her. Get...

I got a phone call today; You. Troubles breathing; it sounded worse today; hard to understand what you had to...

A Phone Call from 1919 David J Walker It was her earliest photograph A stolen image A split seconds motion in Captured time And here, in this odd box For so long it lay Unseen And yet a sworn testament In a storm of its lonely reality undeniable Where has been stored the beauty In this thing That stirs an unknow affection In one thousand...

Sheltering in place Not anyone’s idea of a great time; certainly not mine. Spoke to a good friend yesterday. She said she is morbidly depressed. She had been positive and upbeat prior to this pandemic. I kept my own dour thoughts secret, feeling like a hidden Eeyore. She unloaded how horrible 2020 has been to her. Her favorite cousin and awful brother...

She has a skin doctor, a hand doctor A freckle doctor, a wart doctor. She has a joint doctor, and a gum doctor. I asked if she had a witch doctor. I could not hear a smile through the phone But she did not pause, so I was disappointed. She has an ear, eye, face and joint doctor, A tooth doctor, a...

Phone Call Fate gave me the courage to reach out to you. The night I gave you a call I was feeling 50 shades of blue. My life felt meaningless my confidence shattered. My soul had been broken my heart was left battered. With no where to turn nobody to run to. I may never know why or what lead me to call you. You were...
