Silent answerphone

john gordon

Silent answerphone
And silent phone.
Twice silent
In two days.
What’s happening ?
My love
Are your days too good
Too fast ?
Are the memories too tired ?
And your body,
Has your body forgotten ?

Silent phone.
But in the silence
My heart is screaming
A thousand thoughts.

The voice of night
Is overwhelming.
