payments and transfers

love
with the
jittery telephone
tingles
that still send
rigormortus up my spine

that voice
from a time and place
left behind

how did i come
to be speaking
to you
through fiber optic
lines

still waiting
when the doorbell
rings
for you to
tend to other
guests

with ears burning
like
the time i was
in your living room
watching you love
everyone else

not even purple
underwear could
keep your gaze
on mine.

so we exchange
i miss yous
and say goodbye
how many times
how many times
