Midnight caller April 13, 2012

 


She talks dirty on the phone

Like one of those call up lines

What charge by the minute

And I can’t get enough

I can’t put together

The voice I’m hearing

With the face I see each

Tuesday across the table from me,

This overnight interlude

That stirs my blood into a boil,

I don’t dare hang up,

Scared I might miss something,

Terrified I might never get another

Call if I do,

As if I am fast asleep

And this is all a dream

From which I refuse to wake,

What is real or unreal,

The line so blurred I can’t tell

Where the dream ends

And waking begins,

And I don’t want to know,

Seduced by a voice

I’m convinced can’t be real

But I need it to be.
