My cellphone reaches
Easily from Cali to Dubai
The sleepy tired garbled English laced heavy with Arabic
answers
clear
Surprising me
Like he was still at home
In his morning
Tea and cigarette voice
And my heart softens
I love you honey
I say to him
I miss you
It's only been a day
And just last night
Feeling free
I was making my plan
To fly forever free
Pack his old shoes and
Worn shirts into one big box
Away
Where i wouldn't have to see
His stuff
Where I could say to him
It's good , you should stay there , a world a planet away in
Babylon
Gone Iraq
Hijab-alon
Sunni bomb--alon
Shia bombed alon
Ancient desert spirit strangle on
Then your voice comes from
Dubai
satellite Next door,
across the world away and
My heart
Softens
Collapses a bit
Losing itself
Again
To
You
