Broken telephone

 They don't teach you 

what to say 

to the person on

the other end of the line

calling at 3 a.m. 

with words she 

would rather not utter

and you 

would rather not listen.

Or what to do with the 

3 a.m. silence

after you hang up,

how to fill the hours

left before the sunrise,

to leave or not to leave bed,

to brew or not to brew

some coffee,

how to play on.

  1. I have had one of those ... once. The uncertainty of what to do next is real. Great launch to NaPoWriMo ~~~~
