Wrong Number
A familiar tone sounds, vibration
in my pocket, a phone comes out.
Glancing at the number, recognition
does not come. I am not expecting
a call, the number is unfamiliar,
strange, like an unknown language,
I am not intrigued, truly uninterested
in what the stranger has to say
but curiosity grows ever stronger.
The ringing stop, screen goes dark.
Nothing, as if the death has taken
this unexpected intruder, but I stare
for minutes, wondering if a message
will arrive, explaining just who
it was that attempted to reach
out to me, but did not succeed.
No message is left
and I am left
wondering
