Silent Ringing | 2010

In the summer of 2010 I wrote a series of short poems which I compiled into a Visual Sketchbook. This is Entry #7




I cannot keep you

on general ringing

flickering and vibrating

every two seconds or three

rendering all the other single girls

feeling lonely; naked

 

as your incessant light flashes

on and off and off and on

 

bringing me dangerous news

of someone wishing to speak words

that they would not approve

of me hearing

 

as my phone continues to ring

and I continue to stare

paralyzed by the blue lights.
