Murmurs and Dust

Black rotary phone
disconsolate
its abrasive ring
not heard in years.

The receiver knows
that crackling hiss
a live line, a ghost
spoke of our fears.

In a windowless
room occupied
by a table, chair
and floorlamp bare

of shade.  What we made
was without form:
incandescent words
carved with flat care.
