and coins useless after
our sliced time
sayin hi.
Alcohol crawling astride
in frail nerves.
Desperate, dripping heart
tugs
at lingering
salt drop atmosphere,
asunder over the phoneline.
Gasp outside
reach for a hope in the payphone.
Pores tingling
the voice belonging to
the lover I adore
and we scramble to explain
what goes on
upon our distant dreamlands.
Asunder over the phoneline
but feeling for embrace in electric
voices.
