Pick it Up!

Folder: 
Loss

Your Mum tries to phone you daily,

On both your mobile numbers.

Illogical and obsessive?

Maybe.

I’m not about to tell her though,

Because I tried it myself, in the first week or so.

Once I tried to convince her of the futility

and was shocked by her anger,

and my own self pity.

So Son, if you can reach the phone,

In Heaven or wherever,

Pick it up!
