Coda
She used to wake me up.
“What’s wrong?” “I
thought you were
dead.” Ten years
later she called
up: “You were
my great love.
I used to
watch
you
sleeping.
I loved you
so much it hurt.
What happened to us?”
It was devastating hearing
her voice. I was irritated. Felt
no emotion. Nothing. Just wanted her to get off the line.
